# LLaVA-OneVision
## Overview
The LLaVA-OneVision model was proposed in [LLaVA-OneVision: Easy Visual Task Transfer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.03326) by
LLaVA-OneVision architecture. Taken from the original paper.
Tips:
- We advise users to use `padding_side="left"` when computing batched generation as it leads to more accurate results. Simply make sure to call `processor.tokenizer.padding_side = "left"` before generating.
- Llava-OneVision uses different number of patches for images and thus has to pad the inputs inside modeling code, aside from the padding done when processing the inputs. The default setting is "left-padding" if model is in `eval()` mode, otherwise "right-padding".
### Formatting Prompts with Chat Templates
Each **checkpoint** is trained with a specific prompt format, depending on the underlying large language model backbone. To ensure correct formatting, use the processor’s `apply_chat_template` method.
**Important:**
- You must construct a conversation history — passing a plain string won't work.
- Each message should be a dictionary with `"role"` and `"content"` keys.
- The `"content"` should be a list of dictionaries for different modalities like `"text"` and `"image"`.
Here’s an example of how to structure your input.
We will use [llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-si-hf](https://huggingface.co/llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-si-hf) and a conversation history of text and image. Each content field has to be a list of dicts, as follows:
```python
from transformers import AutoProcessor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-si-hf")
conversation = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image"},
{"type": "text", "text": "What’s shown in this image?"},
],
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "This image shows a red stop sign."},]
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "Describe the image in more details."},
],
},
]
text_prompt = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True)
# Note that the template simply formats your prompt, you still have to tokenize it and obtain pixel values for your images
print(text_prompt)
'<|im_start|>user\nWhat is shown in this image?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\nPage showing the list of options.<|im_end|>'
```
🚀 **Bonus:** If you're using `transformers>=4.49.0`, you can also get a vectorized output from `apply_chat_template`. See the **Usage Examples** below for more details on how to use it.

## Usage example
### Single image inference
Here's how to load the model and perform inference in half-precision (`torch.float16`):
```python
from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration
import torch
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf")
model = LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
device_map="cuda:0"
)
# prepare image and text prompt, using the appropriate prompt template
url = "https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA/blob/1a91fc274d7c35a9b50b3cb29c4247ae5837ce39/images/llava_v1_5_radar.jpg?raw=true"
conversation = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "url": url},
{"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
],
},
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(conversation, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt")
inputs = inputs.to("cuda:0", torch.float16)
# autoregressively complete prompt
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(processor.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
'user\n\nWhat is shown in this image?\nassistant\nThe image shows a radar chart, also known as a spider chart or a star chart, which is used to compare multiple quantitative variables. Each axis represents a different variable, and the chart is filled with'
```
### Multi image inference
LLaVa-OneVision can perform inference with multiple images as input, where images either belong to the same prompt or different prompts (in batched inference). For that you have to use checkpoints with an "ov" suffix. For multi-image cases, we recommend using a **nested list of images** as input. Otherwise, every image will be patchified and consume a lot of memory. Here is how you can do it:
```python
import requests
from PIL import Image
import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration
# Load the model in half-precision
model = LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf")
# Prepare a batch of two prompts, where the first one is a multi-turn conversation and the second is not
conversation_1 = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "url": "https://www.ilankelman.org/stopsigns/australia.jpg"},
{"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
],
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "There is a red stop sign in the image."},
],
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "url": "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"},
{"type": "text", "text": "What about this image? How many cats do you see?"},
],
},
]
conversation_2 = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/microsoft/kosmos-2-patch14-224/resolve/main/snowman.jpg"},
{"type": "text", "text": "What is shown in this image?"},
],
},
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
[conversation_1, conversation_2],
add_generation_prompt=True,
tokenize=True,
return_dict=True,
padding=True,
return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device, torch.float16)
# Generate
generate_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=30)
processor.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)
['user\n\nWhat is shown in this image?\nassistant\nThere is a red stop sign in the image.\nuser\n\nWhat about this image? How many cats do you see?\nassistant\ntwo', 'user\n\nWhat is shown in this image?\nassistant\n']
```
### Video inference
LLaVa-OneVision also can perform inference with videos as input, where video frames are treated as multiple images. Here is how you can do it:
```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import torch
from transformers import AutoProcessor, LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration
# Load the model in half-precision
model = LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov-hf")
video_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="raushan-testing-hf/videos-test", filename="sample_demo_1.mp4", repo_type="dataset")
conversation = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "video", "path": video_path},
{"type": "text", "text": "Why is this video funny?"},
],
},
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
conversation,
num_frames=8
add_generation_prompt=True,
tokenize=True,
return_dict=True,
return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device, torch.float16)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=60)
processor.batch_decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=True)
["user\n\nWhy is this video funny?\nassistant\nThe video appears to be humorous because it shows a young child, who is wearing glasses and holding a book, seemingly reading with a serious and focused expression. The child's glasses are a bit oversized for their face, which adds a comical touch, as it's a common trope to see children wearing"]
```
## Model optimization
### Quantization using bitsandbytes
The model can be loaded in 8 or 4 bits, greatly reducing the memory requirements while maintaining the performance of the original model. First make sure to install bitsandbytes, `pip install bitsandbytes` and make sure to have access to a GPU/accelerator that is supported by the library.
bitsandbytes is being refactored to support multiple backends beyond CUDA. Currently, ROCm (AMD GPU) and Intel CPU implementations are mature, with Intel XPU in progress and Apple Silicon support expected by Q4/Q1. For installation instructions and the latest backend updates, visit [this link](https://huggingface.co/docs/bitsandbytes/main/en/installation#multi-backend).
We value your feedback to help identify bugs before the full release! Check out [these docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/bitsandbytes/main/en/non_cuda_backends) for more details and feedback links.
Simply change the snippet above with:
```python
from transformers import LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration, BitsAndBytesConfig
# specify how to quantize the model
quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
load_in_4bit=True,
bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
)
model = LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_id, quantization_config=quantization_config, device_map="auto")
```
### Use Flash-Attention 2 to further speed-up generation
First make sure to install flash-attn. Refer to the [original repository of Flash Attention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention) regarding that package installation. Simply change the snippet above with:
```python
from transformers import LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration
model = LlavaOnevisionForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
use_flash_attention_2=True
).to(0)
