# InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus

[\[📂 GitHub\]](https://github.com/OpenGVLab/InternVL)  [\[🆕 Blog\]](https://internvl.github.io/blog/)  [\[📜 InternVL 1.0 Paper\]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.14238)  [\[📜 InternVL 1.5 Report\]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.16821)

[\[🗨️ Chat Demo\]](https://internvl.opengvlab.com/)  [\[🤗 HF Demo\]](https://huggingface.co/spaces/OpenGVLab/InternVL)  [\[🚀 Quick Start\]](#quick-start)  [\[📖 中文解读\]](https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/706547971)  \[🌟 [魔搭社区](https://modelscope.cn/organization/OpenGVLab) | [教程](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/OUaVLkxlk1zhFb1cvMCFjg) \]

InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus uses the same model architecture as [InternVL-Chat-V1-2](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternVL-Chat-V1-2), but the difference lies in the SFT dataset. InternVL-Chat-V1-2 only utilizes an SFT dataset with 1.2M samples, while **our plus version employs an SFT dataset with 12M samples**.

</p>

## Model Details

- **Model Type:** multimodal large language model (MLLM)

- **Model Stats:**

  - Architecture: [InternViT-6B-448px-V1-2](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternViT-6B-448px-V1-2) + MLP + [Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B)
  - Image size: 448 x 448 (256 tokens)
  - Params: 40B

- **Training Strategy:**

  - Pretraining Stage
    - Learnable Component: MLP
    - Data: Trained on 8192x4800=39.3M samples, including COYO, LAION, CC12M, CC3M, SBU, Wukong, GRIT, Objects365, OpenImages, and OCR data. In this stage, we first load the pre-trained weights of [InternViT-6B-448px-V1-0](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternViT-6B-448px-V1-0) and connect it to Nous-Hermes-2-Yi-34B. After pre-training, the extracted ViT is published as [InternViT-6B-448px-V1-2](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternViT-6B-448px-V1-2). Moreover, in order to reduce the number of visual tokens, we use a pixel shuffle to reduce 1024 tokens to 256 tokens.
  - Supervised Finetuning Stage
    - Learnable Component: ViT + MLP + LLM
    - Data: 12 million SFT samples.

- MMBench results are collected from the [leaderboard](https://mmbench.opencompass.org.cn/leaderboard).

Here, we have conducted only a simple performance comparison. For more detailed performance information and additional evaluation metrics, please refer to our performance summary table.

## Quick Start

We provide an example code to run InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus using `transformers`.

We also welcome you to experience the InternVL2 series models in our [online demo](https://internvl.opengvlab.com/).

> Please use transformers==4.37.2 to ensure the model works normally.

### Model Loading

#### 16-bit (bf16 / fp16)

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
path = "OpenGVLab/InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True).eval().cuda()
```

#### BNB 8-bit Quantization

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
path = "OpenGVLab/InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    load_in_8bit=True,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True).eval()
```

#### BNB 4-bit Quantization

> **⚠️ Warning:** Due to significant quantization errors with BNB 4-bit quantization on InternViT-6B, the model may produce nonsensical outputs and fail to understand images. Therefore, please avoid using BNB 4-bit quantization.

#### Multiple GPUs

The reason for writing the code this way is to avoid errors that occur during multi-GPU inference due to tensors not being on the same device. By ensuring that the first and last layers of the large language model (LLM) are on the same device, we prevent such errors.

```python
import math
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

def split_model(model_name):
    device_map = {}
    world_size = torch.cuda.device_count()
    num_layers = {'InternVL-Chat-V1-2': 60, 'InternVL-Chat-V1-2-Plus': 60}[model_name]
    # Since the first GPU will be used for ViT, treat it as half a GPU.
    num_layers_per_gpu = math.ceil(num_layers / (world_size - 0.5))
    num_layers_per_gpu = [num_layers_per_gpu] * world_size
    num_layers_per_gpu[0] = math.ceil(num_layers_per_gpu[0] * 0.5)
    layer_cnt = 0
    for i, num_layer in enumerate(num_layers_per_gpu):
        for j in range(num_layer):
            device_map[f'language_model.model.layers.{layer_cnt}'] = i
            layer_cnt += 1
    device_map['vision_model'] = 0
    device_map['mlp1'] = 0
    device_map['language_model.model.tok_embeddings'] = 0
    device_map['language_model.model.embed_tokens'] = 0
    device_map['language_model.output'] = 0
    device_map['language_model.model.norm'] = 0
    device_map['language_model.lm_head'] = 0

    end_idx = min(round(end * fps), max_frame)
    seg_size = float(end_idx - start_idx) / num_segments

#### Streaming output

Besides this method, you can also use the following code to get streamed output.

```python
from transformers import TextIteratorStreamer
from threading import Thread

# Initialize the streamer
streamer = TextIteratorStreamer(tokenizer, skip_prompt=True, skip_special_tokens=True, timeout=10)
# Define the generation configuration
generation_config = dict(max_new_tokens=1024, do_sample=False, streamer=streamer)
# Start the model chat in a separate thread
thread = Thread(target=model.chat, kwargs=dict(
    tokenizer=tokenizer, pixel_values=pixel_values, question=question,
    history=None, return_history=False, generation_config=generation_config,
))
thread.start()

# Initialize an empty string to store the generated text
generated_text = ''
# Loop through the streamer to get the new text as it is generated
for new_text in streamer:
    if new_text == model.conv_template.sep:
        break
    generated_text += new_text
    print(new_text, end='', flush=True)  # Print each new chunk of generated text on the same line
```
