# LLaMA-3-V: Extending the Visual Capabilities of LLaVA with Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct

## Repository Overview

This repository features LLaVA v1.5 trained with the Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct LLM. This integration aims to leverage the strengths of both models to offer advanced vision-language understanding.

## Training Strategy
- Only Vision-to-Language projector is trained. The rest of the model is frozen.
- **Note:** The repository contains only the projector weights.

## Key Components

- **Base Large Language Model (LLM):** [Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct)
- **Base Large Multimodal Model (LMM):** [LLaVA-v1.5](https://github.com/haotian-liu/LLaVA)

## Training Data

- **Pretraining Dataset:** [LCS-558K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/liuhaotian/LLaVA-Pretrain)

## Download It As

```
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/MBZUAI/LLaVA-Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-pretrain
