We’re thrilled to announce that LLaVA v1.5 7B (llava-v1.5-7b-4096-preview), a cutting-edge visual model, is now available on GroqCloud™ Developer Console. This marks a significant milestone for GroqCloud, as we expand our support to three modalities: image, audio, and text. With LLaVA v1.5 7B, developers and businesses can tap into the vast potential of multimodal AI, enabling innovative applications that combine visual, auditory, and textual inputs.
What is LLaVA?
LLaVA stands for Large Language and Vision Assistant, a powerful multimodal model that combines the strengths of language and vision. Based on OpenAI’s CLIP and a fine-tuned version of Meta’s Llama 2 7B model, LLaVA uses visual instruction tuning to support image-based natural instruction following and visual reasoning capabilities. This allows LLaVA to perform a range of tasks, including:
- Visual question answering: answering questions based on image content
- Caption generation: generating text descriptions of images
- Optical Character Recognition: identifying text in image
- Multimodal dialogue: engaging in conversations that involve both text and images
When trained in September 2023, LLaVA v1.5 achieved state-of-the-art performance on a total of 7 benchmarks, including 5 academic VQA benchmarks. This demonstrates the model’s exceptional capabilities in understanding and generating text based on visual inputs.
Unlocking New Use Cases
The possibilities with LLaVA v1.5 7B are vast and exciting. Here are a few concrete examples of how it can be used in real-world applications:
- Visual Question Answering (VQA): A retail store can use images of retail shelves to track inventory levels and identify products that are running low.
- Image Captioning: A social media platform can generate text descriptions of images, making it easier for visually impaired users to understand the content of images.
- Multimodal Dialogue Systems: A customer service chatbot can engage in conversations that involve both text and images, allowing customers to ask questions and receive answers about products.
- Accessibility: A e-commerce platform can generating text descriptions of images for visually impaired individuals, which can be useful for applications such as image search, image recommendation, or image-based education.
Industry-Specific Benefits
LLaVA v1.5 7B has the potential to automate a wide range of tasks in various industries, including:
