## Description
nanoLLaVA-1.5 is a "small but mighty" 1B vision-language model designed to run efficiently on edge devices. This is an update from the v1.0 version [qnguyen3/nanoLLaVA](https://huggingface.co/qnguyen3/nanoLLaVA)
- **Base LLM**: [Quyen-SE-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/vilm/Quyen-SE-v0.1) (Qwen1.5-0.5B)
- **Vision Encoder**: [google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384](https://huggingface.co/google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384)

| Model   | **VQA v2** | **TextVQA** | **ScienceQA** | **POPE** | **MMMU (Test)** | **MMMU (Eval)** | **GQA**  | **MM-VET** |
|---------|--------|---------|-----------|------|-------------|-------------|------|--------|

| nanoLLavA-1.5   | TBD  | TBD   | TBD     | TBD | TBD        | TBD        | TBD| TBD   |

## Training Data
Training Data will be released later as I am still writing a paper on this. Expect the final final to be much more powerful than the current one.

## Finetuning Code
Coming Soon!!!

## Usage
You can use with `transformers` with the following script:

```bash
pip install -U transformers accelerate flash_attn
```

```python
import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
import warnings

# disable some warnings
transformers.logging.set_verbosity_error()
transformers.logging.disable_progress_bar()
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

# set device
torch.set_default_device('cuda')  # or 'cpu'

model_name = 'qnguyen3/nanoLLaVA-1.5'

# create model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map='auto',
    trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    trust_remote_code=True)

# text prompt
prompt = 'Describe this image in detail'

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": f'<image>\n{prompt}'}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

print(text)

text_chunks = [tokenizer(chunk).input_ids for chunk in text.split('<image>')]
input_ids = torch.tensor(text_chunks[0] + [-200] + text_chunks[1], dtype=torch.long).unsqueeze(0)

# image, sample images can be found in images folder
image = Image.open('/path/to/image.png')
image_tensor = model.process_images([image], model.config).to(dtype=model.dtype)

# generate
output_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    images=image_tensor,
    max_new_tokens=2048,
    use_cache=True)[0]

print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip())
```

## Prompt Format
The model follow the ChatML standard, however, without `\n` at the end of `<|im_end|>`:
```
<|im_start|>system
Answer the question<|im_end|><|im_start|>user
<image>
What is the picture about?<|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant
```

Model is trained using a modified version from [Bunny](https://github.com/BAAI-DCAI/Bunny/tree/main/bunny)
