LLaVa

LLaVA is a large language and vision assistant that can understand and follow visual and language-based instructions. It is the first general-purpose multimodal model that combines a vision encoder and a large language model (LLM) for general-purpose visual and language understanding. LLaVA is still under development, but it has already achieved impressive results on a variety of tasks, including:

• Answering questions about images
• Generating text descriptions of images
• Following instructions to perform tasks on images
• Translating between languages and modalities (e.g., image to text, text to image)

LLaVA is an open-source project that is designed to be accessible to the research community. It is hoped that LLaVA will help to advance the state-of-the-art in multimodal AI and enable the development of new and innovative applications.
