## Installation and Requirements
Please note that our environment requirements are different from LLaVA's environment requirements. We strongly recommend you create the environment from scratch as follows.
1. Clone this repository and navigate to the folder
git clone https://github.com/TinyLLaVA/TinyLLaVA_Factory.git
cd TinyLLaVA_Factory
2. Create a conda environment, activate it and install Packages
conda create -n tinyllava_factory python=3.10 -y
conda activate tinyllava_factory
pip install --upgrade pip # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e .
3. Install additional packages
pip install flash-attn==2.5.7 --no-build-isolation
#### Upgrade to the latest code base
git pull
pip install -e .
## Get Started
#### 1. Data Preparation
Please refer to the [Data Preparation](https://tinyllava-factory.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Prepare%20Datasets.html) section in our [Documenation](https://tinyllava-factory.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
#### 2. Train
Here's an example for training a LMM using Phi-2.
- Replace data paths with yours in `scripts/train/train_phi.sh`
- Replace `output_dir` with yours in `scripts/train/pretrain.sh`
- Replace `pretrained_model_path` and `output_dir` with yours in `scripts/train/finetune.sh`
- Adjust your GPU ids (localhost) and `per_device_train_batch_size` in `scripts/train/pretrain.sh` and `scripts/train/finetune.sh`
bash scripts/train/train_phi.sh
Important hyperparameters used in pretraining and finetuning are provided below.
| Training Stage | Global Batch Size | Learning rate | conv_version |
| -------------- | :---------------: | :-----------: | :----------: |
| Pretraining | 256 | 1e-3 | pretrain |
| Finetuning | 128 | 2e-5 | phi |
**Tips:**
Global Batch Size = num of GPUs * `per_device_train_batch_size` * `gradient_accumulation_steps`, we recommand you always keep global batch size and learning rate as above except for lora tuning your model.
`conv_version` is a hyperparameter used for choosing different chat templates for different LLMs. In the pretraining stage, `conv_version` is the same for all LLMs, using `pretrain`. In the finetuning stage, we use
`phi` for Phi-2, StableLM, Qwen-1.5
`llama` for TinyLlama, OpenELM
`gemma` for Gemma
#### 3. Evaluation
Please refer to the [Evaluation](https://tinyllava-factory.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Evaluation.html) section in our [Documenation](https://tinyllava-factory.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Evaluation.html).

If you have models trained by our old codebase TinyLLaVABench and you still want to use them, we provide an example of [TinyLLaVA-3.1B](https://huggingface.co/bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B) for how to use legacy models.
Example of using legacy models
from tinyllava.eval.run_tiny_llava import eval_model
from tinyllava.model.convert_legecy_weights_to_tinyllavafactory import *
model = convert_legecy_weights_to_tinyllavafactory('bczhou/TinyLLaVA-3.1B')
prompt = "What are the things I should be cautious about when I visit here?"
image_file = "https://llava-vl.github.io/static/images/view.jpg"
args = type('Args', (), {
"model_path": None,
"model": model,
"query": prompt,
"conv_mode": "phi", # the same as conv_version in the training stage. Different LLMs have different conv_mode/conv_version, please replace it
"image_file": image_file,
"sep": ",",
"temperature": 0,
"top_p": None,
"num_beams": 1,
"max_new_tokens": 512
})()
eval_model(args)
"""
Output:
When visiting this serene lakeside location with a wooden dock, there are a few things to be cautious about. First, ensure that the dock is stable and secure before stepping onto it, as it might be slippery or wet, especially if it's a wooden structure. Second, be mindful of the surrounding water, as it can be deep or have hidden obstacles, such as rocks or debris, that could pose a risk. Additionally, be aware of the weather conditions, as sudden changes in weather can make the area more dangerous. Lastly, respect the natural environment and wildlife, and avoid littering or disturbing the ecosystem.
