Introduction
The Imp project aims to provide a family of strong multimodal lightweight LMMs. Our Imp-v1.5-3B-Phi2 is a strong MSLM with only 3B parameters, which is build upon a small yet powerful SLM Phi-2 (2.7B) and a powerful visual encoder SigLIP (0.4B), and trained on 1M mixed dataset.
As shown in the Table below, Imp-v1.5-3B-Phi2 significantly outperforms the counterparts of similar model sizes, and even achieves slightly better performance than the strong LLaVA-7B model on various multimodal benchmarks.
We release our model weights and provide an example below to run our model . Detailed technical report and corresponding training/evaluation code will be released soon on our GitHub repo. We will persistently improve our model and release the next versions to further improve model performance :)
How to use
Install dependencies
pip install transformers # latest version is ok, but we recommend v4.36.0
pip install -q pillow accelerate einops
You can use the following code for model inference. The format of text instruction is similar to LLaVA. Note that the example can only be run on GPUs currently.
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
torch.set_default_device("cuda")
#Create model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"MILVLG/Imp-v1.5-3B-Phi2",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MILVLG/Imp-v1.5-3B-Phi2", trust_remote_code=True)
#Set inputs
text = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. USER: <image>\nWhat are the colors of the bus in the image? ASSISTANT:"
image = Image.open("images/bus.jpg")
input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt').input_ids
image_tensor = model.image_preprocess(image)
#Generate the answer
output_ids = model.generate(
input_ids,
max_new_tokens=100,
images=image_tensor,
use_cache=True)[0]
print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip())
Model evaluation
We conduct evaluation on 9 commonly-used benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks and 4 popular MLLM benchmarks, to compare our Imp model with LLaVA (7B) and existing MSLMs of similar model sizes.
