LLaVA-Video-7B-Qwen2-TPO

LLaVA-Video-7B-Qwen2-TPO, introduced by paper Temporal Preference Optimization for Long-form Video Understanding, optimized by temporal preference based on LLaVA-Video-7B-Qwen2. The LLaVA-Video-7B-Qwen2-TPO model establishes state-of-the-art performance across a range of benchmarks, demonstrating an average performance improvement of 1.5% compared to LLaVA-Video-7B. Notably, it emerges as the leading 7B parameter model on the Video-MME benchmark.
