Welcome to the exciting world of LLaVA-MORE! This advanced model enhances the well-known LLaVA architecture by integrating LLaMA 3.1 as its language model. With 8 billion parameters, LLaVA-MORE stands at the cutting edge of image-to-text technology. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set it up and get started with inference.

Getting Started with LLaVA-MORE

To begin using LLaVA-MORE, you’ll need to clone the official repository and run a specific script. Just follow these simple steps:

• Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aimagelab/LLaVA-MORE

• Navigate to the cloned directory:

cd LLaVA-MORE

• Run the inference script:

python -u llava/eval/run_llava.py

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine you’ve just purchased a state-of-the-art blender (LLaVA-MORE) that can whip up various delicious smoothies (image-to-text functionalities). To get started, you first need to unbox it (clone the repository), set it up on your kitchen counter (navigate to the directory), and finally plug it in and press the power button (run the inference script) to blend your favorite fruits (process your images).

Each step is integral to creating that perfect smoothie. Just like you wouldn’t skip unboxing before trying to make a smoothie, you need to follow these steps when operating LLaVA-MORE for it to function smoothly.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during setup or inference, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that all dependencies are installed correctly.
• Check if you are using an appropriate version of Python.
• Make sure your environment has the required hardware, especially if working with large models.
• Refer to the official documentation in our LLaVA-MORE repository for any specific error messages you may encounter.
