# LLaVA
-Currently this implementation supports [llava-v1.5](https://huggingface.co/liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b) variants.
+Currently this implementation supports [llava-v1.5](https://huggingface.co/liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b) variants,
+as well as llava-1.6 [llava-v1.6](https://huggingface.co/collections/liuhaotian/llava-16-65b9e40155f60fd046a5ccf2) variants.
The pre-converted [7b](https://huggingface.co/mys/ggml_llava-v1.5-7b)
and [13b](https://huggingface.co/mys/ggml_llava-v1.5-13b)
models are available.
+For llava-1.6 a variety of prepared gguf models are available as well [7b-34b](https://huggingface.co/cmp-nct/llava-1.6-gguf)
After API is confirmed, more models will be supported / uploaded.
```
**note**: A lower temperature like 0.1 is recommended for better quality. add `--temp 0.1` to the command to do so.
+**note**: For GPU offloading ensure to use the `-ngl` flag just like usual
## LLaVA 1.5
Now both the LLaMA part and the image encoder is in the `llava-v1.5-7b` directory.
-## LLaVA 1.6
+## LLaVA 1.6 gguf conversion
+
+1) Backup your pth/safetensor model files as llava-surgery modifies them
+2) Use `python llava-surgery-v2.py -C -m /path/to/hf-model` which also supports llava-1.5 variants pytorch as well as safetensor models:
+- you will find a llava.projector and a llava.clip file in your model directory
+3) Copy the llava.clip file into a subdirectory (like vit), rename it to pytorch_model.bin and add a fitting vit configuration to the directory (https://huggingface.co/cmp-nct/llava-1.6-gguf/blob/main/config.json)
+4) Create the visual gguf model: `python ./examples/llava/convert-image-encoder-to-gguf.py -m ../path/to/vit --llava-projector ../path/to/llava.projector --output-dir ../path/to/output --clip_model_is_vision`
+- This is similar to llava-1.5, the difference is that we tell the encoder that we are working with the pure vision model part of CLIP
+5) Everything else as usual: convert.py the hf model, quantize as needed
+**note** llava-1.6 needs more context than llava-1.5, at least 3000 is needed (just run it at -c 4096)
+**note** llava-1.6 greatly benefits from batched prompt processing (defaults work)
+
+## llava-cli templating and llava-1.6 prompting
+
+llava-1.5 models all use the same vicuna prompt, here you can just add your image question like `-p "Provide a full description."`
+For llava-1.5 models which are not vicuna (mistral and Yi) you need to adapt system prompt as well as user prompt, for this purpose llava-cli has a basic templating system:
+
+**For Mistral and using llava-cli binary:**
+Add this: `-p "<image>\nUSER:\nProvide a full description.\nASSISTANT:\n"`
+The mistral template for llava-1.6 seems to be no system print and a USER/ASSISTANT role
+
+**For the 34B this should work:**
+Add this: `-e -p <|im_start|>system\nAnswer the questions.<|im_end|><|im_start|>user\n<image>\nProvide a full description.<|im_end|><|im_start|>assistant\n`
+
+
+## How to know if you are running in llava-1.5 or llava-1.6 mode
+
+When running llava-cli you will see a visual information right before the prompt is being processed:
+
+**Llava-1.5:**
+`encode_image_with_clip: image embedding created: 576 tokens`
+
+**Llava-1.6 (anything above 576):**
+`encode_image_with_clip: image embedding created: 2880 tokens`
+
+
+Alternatively just pay notice to how many "tokens" have been used for your prompt, it will also show 1000+ tokens for llava-1.6
