nano nextgpt Weights

This repository contains the weights for nano nextgpt, a minimalist re-implementation of NextGPT in the style of Andrej Karpathy's nanoGPT. The project is based on the NextGPT architecture, which is detailed here: NextGPT.

About nano nextgpt

nano nextgpt is a stripped-down version of NextGPT, focusing solely on image and text processing, omitting the video and audio processing capabilities. The model underwent two primary stages of training:

1. Linear Layer Training: This involved mapping ImageBind embeddings onto the LLM (Large Language Model) embedding space. The training dataset comprised 20,000 image-text pairs sourced from COCO 3m.

2. Instruction Tuning: This stage involved training the entire model, including the linear layer and LLM, end-to-end. This was done using qlora and peft techniques, with a dataset containing 80,000 image-text pairs in a conversational format, taken from the Llava project.

Usage

For detailed usage instructions, including how to integrate these weights into your applications, please refer to the nano next gpt GitHub repository.
