🦫 Beaver-Vision-11B

Beaver-Vision-11B is an Image-Text-to-Text chat assistant trained based on the LLaMA-3.2-11B-Vision (pretrained version) using the Align-Anything-Instruct dataset and Align-Anything framework.

Beaver-Vision-11B aims to enhance the instruction-following abilities of MLLMs (Multi-modal Large Language Models). Compared with LLaMA-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct, Beaver-Vision-11B uses Align-Anything-Instruct dataset and post-training alignment method, achieving better performance. More importantly, Beaver-Vision-11B has open-sourced all of its training data, code, and evaluation scripts, providing greater convenience for the community and researchers.

• Developed by: the PKU-Alignment Team.
• Model Type: An auto-regressive multi-modal (Image-Text-to-Text) language model based on the transformer architecture.
• Fine-tuned from model: LLaMA-3.2-11B-Vision.

Example

Comparison

Role	Content
User	What's the name of the restaurant serving these dishes?
LLaMA-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct	The dish in the image is from a ramen restaurant called "Ippudo." Ippudo is known for its high-quality, authentic Japanese ramen. The bowl with the distinctive design and rich broth is characteristic of their signature Ramen.
GPT-4o	The restaurant serving these dishes is ICHIRAN.
Beaver-Vision-11B	The image shows that the restaurant is ICHIRAN. Because it appears to be a ramen dish served in a traditional Japanese-style bowl with various accompaniments such as green onions and possibly some kind of meat or broth flavoring. Additionally, the presence of the ICHIRAN logo on the dishware helps identify the restaurant.

In this example, LLaMA-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct failed to recognize the logo text in the bowl and fell into hallucination; GPT-4o recognized accurately but did not provide more understandable information, while Beaver-Vision-11B was able to offer both accurate and detailed answers.

prompt What are the things I should be cautious about when I visit here?	prompt What is unusual about this image?	prompt Write an attractive product description for this.
response When visiting a place like this, which appears to be a serene lake with a dock and surrounded by forested mountains, you should be cautious of several factors: 1. Weather Conditions: Be aware of changing weather conditions such as sudden rainstorms or extreme temperatures, which can make activities dangerous. 2. Water Activities: If engaging in water activities like swimming or fishing, ensure you're safe around the water, especially if there are strong currents or deep areas. 3. Wildlife: The surrounding forest might have wildlife; stay informed about potential encounters and know how to react safely. 4. Injuries on the Dock: Walking on docks can be slippery, so watch your step to avoid falls or injuries. 5. Environmental Protection: Respect nature by not littering and staying on designated paths to protect local flora and fauna. 6. Physical Activity: Engage in physical activity responsibly, ensuring you’re prepared for outdoor exertion and have necessary supplies like food, water, and first aid. 7. Isolation: If venturing into remote areas, be mindful of isolation risks—let someone know your plans and expected return time. 8. Equipment Check: When using equipment such as kayaks or camping gear, ensure everything is in good condition before use. 9. Local Regulations: Follow any posted signs or regulations meant to preserve the environment and enhance safety for visitors. 10. Emergency Preparedness: Know basic emergency procedures and carry essential items like a map, compass, flashlight, and first-aid kit. By being cautious of these factors, you can enjoy your visit more safely.	response The unusual aspect of this image is that a person is ironing clothes on the back of a moving taxi. This is an unconventional and unsafe activity, as it involves using an electric iron in close proximity to other vehicles and potentially causing harm or damage. Additionally, the presence of the ironing board and iron on the side of a speeding vehicle defies common sense and safety protocols.	response Classic Mario Themed Mugs Step into the world of nostalgia with these vibrant Classic Mario themed mugs!
