Bunny: A family of lightweight multimodal models

Bunny is a family of lightweight but powerful multimodal models. It offers multiple plug-and-play vision encoders, like EVA-CLIP, SigLIP and language backbones, including Phi-1.5, StableLM-2, Qwen1.5 and Phi-2. To compensate for the decrease in model size, we construct more informative training data by curated selection from a broader data source. Remarkably, our Bunny-v1.0-3B model built upon SigLIP and Phi-2 outperforms the state-of-the-art MLLMs, not only in comparison with models of similar size but also against larger MLLMs (7B), and even achieves performance on par with 13B models.

Quickstart

HuggingFace transformers

Here we show a code snippet to show you how to use Bunny-v1.0-3B and Bunny-v1.0-2B-zh with HuggingFace transformers.

Before running the snippet, you need to install the following dependencies:

pip install torch transformers accelerate pillow

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image
import warnings

# disable some warnings
transformers.logging.set_verbosity_error()
transformers.logging.disable_progress_bar()
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

# set device
torch.set_default_device('cpu')  # or 'cuda'

model_name = 'BAAI/Bunny-v1_0-3B' # or 'BAAI/Bunny-v1_0-2B-zh'
# create model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map='auto',
    trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    trust_remote_code=True)

# text prompt
prompt = 'Why is the image funny?'
text = f"A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. USER: <image>\n{prompt} ASSISTANT:"
text_chunks = [tokenizer(chunk).input_ids for chunk in text.split('<image>')]
input_ids = torch.tensor(text_chunks[0] + [-200] + text_chunks[1], dtype=torch.long).unsqueeze(0)

# image, sample images can be found in https://huggingface.co/BAAI/Bunny-v1_0-3B/tree/main/images
image = Image.open('example_2.png')
image_tensor = model.process_images([image], model.config).to(dtype=model.dtype)

# generate
output_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    images=image_tensor,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    use_cache=True)[0]

print(tokenizer.decode(output_ids[input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True).strip())

ModelScope

We advise users especially those in Chinese mainland to use ModelScope. snapshot_download can help you solve issues concerning downloading checkpoints.

Training

Bunny training consists of two stages: (1) pretrain stage: use data to connect a frozen pretrained vision encoder to a frozen LLM, and only the connector is trained; (2) visual instruction tuning stage: use data to teach the model to follow multimodal instructions, where the connector and learnable LLM parameters are updated.

Bunny is trained on 8 A100 GPUs. Under other circumstances, you can reduce the per_device_train_batch_size and increase the gradient_accumulation_steps accordingly. Always keep the global batch size the same: global_batch_size = per_device_train_batch_size $\times$ gradient_accumulation_steps $\times$ num_gpus.

Support Models

Currently, we support several vision encoders and LLMs.

For vision encoders, we support CLIP, EVA-CLIP and SigLIP.

clip-vit-large-patch14-336	openai/clip-vit-large-patch14-336
EVA02_CLIP_L_336_psz14_s6B	QuanSun/EVA-CLIP
siglip-so400m-patch14-384	google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384

For LLMs, we support phi-1.5, stablelm-2, qwen1.5-1.8b and phi-2.

MODEL_TYPE	LLM	Download Link
phi-1.5	phi-1_5	microsoft/phi-1_5
stablelm-2	stablelm-2-1_6b	stabilityai/stablelm-2-1_6b
qwen1.5-1.8b	Qwen1.5-1.8B	Qwen/Qwen1.5-1.8B
phi-2	phi-2	microsoft/phi-2

Note that there are many variants of above models. We build and test our code based on the exact versions mentioned above. More models will be supported in the future!

Pretrain

Data preparation

We use a high-quality coreset with less duplicates and more informative samples of LAION-2B built by this work. We randomly sample 2 million image-text pairs from the coreset and convert them to training format. The dataset is available here.
Run

Update --model_name_or_path and --vision_tower to the paths of the LLM and vision encoder, respectively. Update MODEL_TYPE and OUTPUT_DIR accordingly. The global batch size is 256. The optimal learning rate varies for different settings and we list the lr in our experiments in the Model Zoo.
```
sh script/train/pretrain.sh
```

Visual Instruction Tuning

Data preparation

We build Bunny-695K by modifying SVIT-mix-665K for finetuning. The dataset is available here.
Run

Update --model_name_or_path and --vision_tower to the paths of the LLM and vision encoder, respectively. Update MODEL_TYPE, PRETRAIN_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR accordingly. The global batch size is 128.
```
# full-parameter tuning
sh script/train/finetune_full.sh

# LoRA tuning
sh script/train/finetune_lora.sh
```

Demo

Gradio Web UI

Starting the Controller

First, start the controller. This service orchestrates communication between the web server and model workers.
```
python -m bunny.serve.controller \
	--host 0.0.0.0 \
	--port 10000
```
Launching the Gradio Web Server

To interact with the models through a web interface, start the Gradio web server.

Basic start:
```
python -m bunny.serve.gradio_web_server \
	--controller http://localhost:10000 \
	--model-list-mode reload
```
If you want to share your web server with others, use --share option. Note that frpc_linux_amd64_v0.2 may be missing and you can fix it following instructions printed on the screen.
```
python -m bunny.serve.gradio_web_server \
	--controller http://localhost:10000 \
	--model-list-mode reload \
	--share
```
Now, you can open the web interface with the URL printed on the screen. You may notice that there is no model in the model list. Do not worry, as we have not launched any model worker yet. It will be automatically updated when you launch a model worker.

Launching Model Workers

Model workers handle the processing of model inferences. Configure each worker with the appropriate model and start it.

For full-parameter tuning models

python -m bunny.serve.model_worker \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --controller http://localhost:10000 \
  --port 40000 \
  --worker http://localhost:40000 \
  --model-path /path/to/bunny/model \
  --model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b)

For LoRA tuning models

You can use script/merge_lora_weights.py to merge the LoRA weights and base LLM, and use it as above.

python script/merge_lora_weights.py \
  --model-path /path/to/bunny_lora_weights \
  --model-base /path/to/base_llm_model \
  --model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b) \
  --save-model-path /path/to/merged_model

Or you can use it without merging as below.

python -m bunny.serve.model_worker \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --controller http://localhost:10000 \
  --port 40000 \
  --worker http://localhost:40000 \
  --model-path /path/to/bunny_lora_weights \
  --model-base /path/to/base_llm_model \
  --model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b)

CLI Inference (Without Gradio Interface)

For CLI-based inference without using the Gradio interface, use the following command:

For full-parameter tuning models

python -m bunny.serve.cli \
	--model-path /path/to/bunny/model \
	--model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b) \
	--image-file /path/to/the/test/image

For LoRA tuning models

You can use script/merge_lora_weights.py to merge the LoRA weights and base LLM, and use it as above.

python script/merge_lora_weights.py \
	--model-path /path/to/bunny_lora_weights \
	--model-base /path/to/base_llm_model \
	--model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b) \
	--save-model-path /path/to/merged_model

Or you can use it without merging as below.

python -m bunny.serve.cli \
	--model-path /path/to/bunny_lora_weights \
	--model-base /path/to/base_llm_model \
	--model-type phi-2 (or stablelm-2 or phi-1.5 or qwen1.5-1.8b) \
	--image-file /path/to/the/test/image
