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 --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 section in our Documenation.

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.

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 section in our Documenation.

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.

Launch Demo Locally

Gradio Web Demo

Launch a local web demo by running:

python tinyllava/serve/app.py --model-path tinyllava/TinyLLaVA-Phi-2-SigLIP-3.1B

CLI Inference

We also support running inference with CLI. To use our model, run:

   --model-path tinyllava/TinyLLaVA-Phi-2-SigLIP-3.1B \
   --image-file "./tinyllava/serve/examples/extreme_ironing.jpg" 

Quick Inference Scripts

If you want to launch the model trained by yourself or us locally, here's an example.

model.cuda()

print('model output:', output_text)
print('runing time:', genertaion_time)

Custom Finetune

If you want to finetune TinyLLaVA with your custom datasets, please refer to here.

Customize Your Own Large Multimodel Models

LLM

If you want to add a new LLM by yourself, you need to create two files: one for chat template and the other for language model, under the folders tinyllava/data/template/ and tinyllava/model/llm/.

Here is an example of adding the Gemma model.

Firstly, create tinyllava/data/template/gemma_template.py, which will be used for the finetuning stage.

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Dict, List, Optional, Sequence, Tuple, Union
from packaging import version

from .formatter import EmptyFormatter, StringFormatter
from .base import Template
from .formatter import Formatter
from . import register_template
from ...utils.constants import *

from transformers import PreTrainedTokenizer
import torch
import tokenizers

    
system = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions."

@register_template('gemma') # Enable the TemplateFactory to obtain the added template by this string ('gemma').
@dataclass
class GemmaTemplate(Template):
    format_image_token: "Formatter" = StringFormatter(slot="<image>\n{{content}}")
    format_user: "Formatter" = StringFormatter(slot="USER" + ": " + "{{content}}" + " ")
    format_assistant: "Formatter" = StringFormatter(slot="ASSISTANT" + ": " + "{{content}}" + "<eos>") # to be modified according to the tokenizer you choose
    system: "Formatter" = EmptyFormatter(slot=system+" ")
    separator: "Formatter" = EmptyFormatter(slot=[' ASSISTANT: ', '<eos>']) # to be modified according to the tokenizer you choose

    def _make_masks(self, labels, tokenizer, sep, eos_token_length, rounds):
        # your code here
        return labels, cur_len

Tips:

Please ensure that the labels (returned by the _make_masks function) follows this format: answers and the eos token id are not masked, and the other tokens are masked with -100.

Secondly, create tinyllava/model/llm/gemma.py.

from transformers import GemmaForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
# The LLM you want to add along with its corresponding tokenizer.

from . import register_llm

# Add GemmaForCausalLM along with its corresponding tokenizer and handle special tokens.
@register_llm('gemma') # Enable the LLMFactory to obtain the added LLM by this string ('gemma').
def return_gemmaclass(): 
    def tokenizer_and_post_load(tokenizer):
        tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.unk_token
        return tokenizer
    return (GemmaForCausalLM, (AutoTokenizer, tokenizer_and_post_load))

Finally, create scripts/train/train_gemma.sh with the corresponding LLM_VERSION and CONV_VERSION.

Vision Tower

If you want to add a new vision tower, you need to implement a new vision tower class that should be inherited from the base class VisionTower. Here's an example of the MoF vision tower.

First, create tinyllava/model/vision_tower/mof.py

@register_vision_tower('mof')      
class MoFVisionTower(VisionTower):
    def __init__(self, cfg):
        super().__init__(cfg)

        self._vision_tower = MoF(cfg)
        self._image_processor = # your image processor
  
    def _load_model(self, vision_tower_name, **kwargs):
        # your code here, make sure your model can be correctly loaded from pretrained parameters either by huggingface or pytorch loading

    def forward(self, x, **kwargs):
        # your code here

Then, modify your training scripts with the corresponding VT_VERSION.

Connector

If you want to add a new connector, you need to implement a new connector class that should be inherited from the base class Connector. Here's an example of the Linear connector.

First, create tinyllava/model/connector/linear.py

import torch.nn as nn

from . import register_connector
from .base import Connector
    
@register_connector('linear') #Enable the ConnectorMFactory to obtain the added connector by this string ('linear').     
class LinearConnector(Connector):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__()
        self._connector =  nn.Linear(config.vision_hidden_size, config.hidden_size) # define your connector model

Then, modify your training scripts with the corresponding CN_VERSION.
