VILA is a visual language model (VLM) pretrained with interleaved image-text data at scale, enabling video understanding and multi-image understanding capabilities. VILA is deployable on the edge by AWQ 4bit quantization and TinyChat framework. We find: (1) image-text pairs are not enough, interleaved image-text is essential; (2) unfreezing LLM during interleaved image-text pre-training enables in-context learning; (3)re-blending text-only instruction data is crucial to boost both VLM and text-only performance; (4) token compression extends #video frames. VILA unveils appealing capabilities, including: video reasoning, in-context learning, visual chain-of-thought, and better world knowledge.
- [2024/07] VILA1.5 also ranks 1st place (OSS model) on MLVU test leaderboard.
- [2024/06] VILA1.5 is now the best open sourced VLM on MMMU leaderboard and Video-MME leaderboard!
- [2024/05] We release VILA-1.5, which offers video understanding capability. VILA-1.5 comes with four model sizes: 3B/8B/13B/40B.
- [2024/05] We release AWQ-quantized 4bit VILA-1.5 models. VILA-1.5 is efficiently deployable on diverse NVIDIA GPUs (A100, 4090, 4070 Laptop, Orin, Orin Nano) by TinyChat and TensorRT-LLM backends.
- [2024/03] VILA has been accepted by CVPR 2024!
- [2024/02] We release AWQ-quantized 4bit VILA models, deployable on Jetson Orin and laptops through TinyChat and TinyChatEngine.

Prompt: Elaborate on the visual and narrative elements of the video in detail.
Caption: The video shows a person's hands working on a white surface. They are folding a piece of fabric with a checkered pattern in shades of blue and white. The fabric is being folded into a smaller, more compact shape. The person's fingernails are painted red, and they are wearing a black and red garment. There are also a ruler and a pencil on the surface, suggesting that measurements and precision are involved in the process.

VILA training contains three steps, for specific hyperparameters, please check out the scripts/v1_5 folder:
We utilize LLaVA-CC3M-Pretrain-595K dataset to align the textual and visual modalities.
The stage 1 script takes in two parameters and it can run on a single 8xA100 node. BASE_MODEL_PATH points to an online or local huggingface repository, such as NousResearch/Llama-2-7b-hf. OUTPUT_NAME points to a target directory under checkpoints, which will save the trained multimodal projector afterwards.
bash scripts/v1_5/paper/1_mm_align.sh [BASE_MODEL_PATH] [OUTPUT_NAME]We use MMC4 and Coyo dataset to train VLM with interleaved image-text pairs.
bash scripts/v1_5/paper/2_pretrain_mmc4_coyo.sh [CODE_PATH] [BASE_MODEL_PATH] [STAGE1_PATH] [OUTPUT_NAME]The stage 2 script takes in four arguments. CODE_PATH is the absolute path to our VILA codebase, BASE_MODEL_PATH has similar meaning to what is presented in the stage 1 script. STAGE1_PATH points to the OUTPUT_NAME of stage 1 (i.e. where the stage 1 checkpoint is stored). OUTPUT_NAME is the desired folder name under checkpoints that saves the pretraining checkpoint. The script we provided for this stage is executed on slurm, and we expect it to execute on 16 nodes (128 GPUs).
This is the last stage of VILA training, in which we tune the model to follow multimodal instructions on a subset of M3IT, FLAN and ShareGPT4V. This stage runs on a 8xA100 node.
bash scripts/v1_5/paper/3_sft.sh [STAGE2_PATH] [OUTPUT_NAME]The stage 3 script takes in two arguments. STAGE2_PATH points to the OUTPUT_NAME of the stage 2 script (i.e. where the stage 2 checkpoint is stored). OUTPUT_NAME is the desired folder name under checkpoints that stores the final checkpoint.
You can follow Llava1.5 eval to download all datasets. After downloading all datasets, please put them under playground/data/eval.
Please make the following changes to the MME evaluation script. Please search for:
data_path='MME_Benchmark_release_version'and replace it with:
data_path=os.path.join(script_dir, 'MME_Benchmark_release_version')We provide a push-the-button script to perform evaluation on all 10 datasets that do not require GPT-assisted evaluation:
./scripts/v1_5/eval/eval_all.sh [CHECKPOINT_PATH] [MODEL_NAME] [CONV_MODE]This script takes in two parameters, CHECKPOINT_PATH points to the stage 3 model checkpoint, and MODEL_NAME will be the name of evaluation results.
VQAv2 and Vizwiz evaluations are hosted on eval.ai. You need to register an account and create a team to be able to submit eval.
MMBench and MMBench_CN eval are hosted on another evaluation server. Make sure you change the name of the file before submitting, otherwise the server caches results and will always return wrong result to you.
We provide a quick script to automatically organize the prediction files that need to be submitted to servers:
python scripts/v1_5/eval/copy_predictions.py [MODEL_NAME]You will be able to find the predictions under playground/data/predictions_upload/[MODEL_NAME] after executing this script.
Please follow the evaluation steps in Video-LLaVA for dataset preparation.
./scripts/v1_5/eval/video_chatgpt/run_all.sh [CHECKPOINT_PATH] [MODEL_NAME] [CONV_MODE]
./scripts/v1_5/eval/video_chatgpt/eval_all.sh [MODEL_NAME]We provide snippets for quick inference with user prompts and images.

--video-file "demo.mp4"Our VILA models are quantized by AWQ into 4 bits for efficient inference on the edge. We provide a push-the-button script to quantize VILA with AWQ.
We support AWQ-quantized 4bit VILA on GPU platforms via TinyChat. We provide a tutorial to run the model with TinyChat after AWQ quantization. We also provide an instruction to launch a Gradio server (powered by TinyChat and AWQ) to serve 4-bit quantized VILA models.
We further support our AWQ-quantized 4bit VILA models on various CPU platforms with both x86 and ARM architectures with our TinyChatEngine. We also provide a detailed tutorial to help the users deploy VILA on different CPUs.
We release VILA1.5-3B, VILA1.5-3B-S2, Llama-3-VILA1.5-8B, VILA1.5-13B, VILA1.5-40B and the 4-bit AWQ-quantized models VILA1.5-3B-AWQ, VILA1.5-3B-S2-AWQ, Llama-3-VILA1.5-8B-AWQ, VILA1.5-13B-AWQ, VILA1.5-40B-AWQ.
