Parrot-14B
Introduction
Welcome to Parrot, a novel method that utilizes textual guidance to drive visual token alignment at the language level. Parrot makes the visual tokens condition on diverse language inputs and uses Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) to promote the alignment of multilingual tokens. Moreover, considering the current lack of benchmarks for evaluating multilingual capabilities within the field, we collect and make available a Massive Multilingual Multimodal Benchmark which includes 6 languages, 15 categories, and 12,000 questions, named as MMMB. For a comprehensive introduction, please refer to Parrot Paper and Parrot GitHub.
Model
Parrot is a multilingual multimodal large language model. We provide our fully finetuned models below:
| Model | Base LLM | Vision Encoder | Stage | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parrot-7B | Qwen-1.5-7B-Chat | CLIP-ViT-Large-patch14-336 | SFT | ckpt |
| Parrot-14B | Qwen-1.5-14B-Chat | CLIP-ViT-Large-patch14-336 | SFT | ckpt |
Performance
Quick Start
We provide a quick start demo in Parrot GitHub, which can be used as a template to run Parrot for inference.
- Before running the demo, please make sure you download the Parrot checkpoint and the Clip checkpoint.
- Second, you should replace the paths in the
runner.py. - Finally, run the python file in your system.
