# Dragonfly Model Card

**Note: Users are permitted to use this model in accordance with the Llama 3 Community License Agreement.**

## Model Details

Dragonfly is a multimodal visual-language model, trained by instruction tuning on Llama 3.

- **Developed by:** [Together AI](https://www.together.ai/)
- **Model type:** An autoregressive visual-language model based on the transformer architecture
- **License:** [Llama 3 Community License Agreement](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B/blob/main/LICENSE)
- **Finetuned from model:** [Llama 3](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3)

### Model Sources

- **Repository:** https://github.com/togethercomputer/Dragonfly
- **Blog:** https://www.together.ai/blog/dragonfly-v1
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.00977

## Uses

The primary use of Dragonfly is research on large visual-language models. 
It is primarily intended for researchers and hobbyists in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.


## How to Get Started with the Model

### 💿 Installation

Create a conda environment and install necessary packages
```bash
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate dragonfly_env
```

Install flash attention
```bash
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
```

As a final step, please run the following command. 
```bash
pip install --upgrade -e .
```

### 🧠 Inference

If you have successfully completed the installation process, then you should be able to follow the steps below. 

Question: Summarize the visual content of the image.

![Skateboard](skateboard.png)

Load necessary packages
```python
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer

from dragonfly.models.modeling_dragonfly import DragonflyForCausalLM
from dragonfly.models.processing_dragonfly import DragonflyProcessor
from pipeline.train.train_utils import random_seed
```

Instantiate the tokenizer, processor, and model. 
```python
device = torch.device("cuda:0")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/Llama-3-8B-Dragonfly-v1")
clip_processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
image_processor = clip_processor.image_processor
processor = DragonflyProcessor(image_processor=image_processor, tokenizer=tokenizer, image_encoding_style="llava-hd")

model = DragonflyForCausalLM.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/Llama-3-8B-Dragonfly-v1")
model = model.to(torch.bfloat16)
model = model.to(device)
```

Now, lets load the image and process them.
```python
image = Image.open("./test_images/skateboard.png")
image = image.convert("RGB")
images = [image]
# images = [None] # if you do not want to pass any images

text_prompt = "<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\nSummarize the visual content of the image.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n"

inputs = processor(text=[text_prompt], images=images, max_length=2048, return_tensors="pt", is_generate=True)
inputs = inputs.to(device)
```

Finally, let us generate the responses from the model
```python
temperature = 0

with torch.inference_mode():
    generation_output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024, eos_token_id=tokenizer.encode("<|eot_id|>"), do_sample=temperature > 0, temperature=temperature, use_cache=True)

generation_text = processor.batch_decode(generation_output, skip_special_tokens=False)
```

An example response.
```plaintext
In the heart of a vibrant skatepark, a skateboarder is caught in a moment of pure exhilaration. The skateboarder, dressed in a black t-shirt adorned with a yellow graphic and black pants, is suspended in mid-air, performing an impressive trick on a concrete ramp. The skateboarder's arms are outstretched, adding balance to the daring stunt.

The skatepark itself is a concrete playground, with the skateboarder's ramp being the main focus. In the background, palm trees sway gently, adding a touch of nature to the urban setting. A few spectators can be seen in the distance, their attention riveted on the airborne skateboarder.

The image captures not just a moment, but a story of skill, courage, and the joy of skateboarding.<|eot_id|>
