**Qwen-VL** (Qwen Large Vision Language Model) is the visual multimodal version of the large model series, Qwen (abbr. Tongyi Qianwen), proposed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-VL accepts image, text, and bounding box as inputs, outputs text and bounding box. The features of Qwen-VL include:
- **Strong performance**: It significantly surpasses existing open-source Large Vision Language Models (LVLM) under similar scale settings on multiple English evaluation benchmarks (including Zero-shot caption, VQA, DocVQA, and Grounding).
- **Multi-lingual LVLM support text recognization**: Qwen-VL naturally supports multi-lingual conversation, and it promotes end-to-end recognition of Chinese and English bi-lingual text in images.
- **Multi-image interleaved conversations**: This feature allows for the input and comparison of multiple images, as well as the ability to specify questions related to the images and engage in multi-image storytelling.
- **First generalist model support grounding in Chinese**: Detecting bounding boxes through open-domain language expression in both Chinese and English.
- **Fine-grained recognization and understanding**: Compared to the 224 resolution currently used by other open-source LVLM, the 448 resolution promotes fine-grained text recognition, document QA, and bounding box annotation.
We release two models of the Qwen-VL series:
- Qwen-VL: The pre-trained LVLM model uses Qwen-7B as the initialization of the LLM, and [Openclip ViT-bigG](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip) as the initialization of the visual encoder. And connects them with a randomly initialized cross-attention layer. Qwen-VL was trained on about 1.5B image-text paired data. The final image input resolution is 448.
- Qwen-VL-Chat: A multimodal LLM-based AI assistant, which is trained with alignment techniques.
For more details about Qwen-VL, please refer to our [technical memo](visual_memo.md).
## Evaluation
We evaluated the model's ability from two perspectives:
1. **Standard Benchmarks**: We evaluate the model's basic task capabilities on four major categories of multimodal tasks:
- Zero-shot Caption: Evaluate model's zero-shot image captioning ability on unseen datasets;
- General VQA: Evaluate the general question-answering ability of pictures, such as the judgment, color, number, category, etc;
- Text-based VQA: Evaluate the model's ability to recognize text in pictures, such as document QA, chart QA, etc;
- Referring Expression Comprehension: Evaluate the ability to localize a target object in an image described by a referring expression.
2. **TouchStone**: To evaluate the overall text-image dialogue capability and alignment level with humans, we have constructed a benchmark called TouchStone, which is based on scoring with GPT4 to evaluate the LVLM model.
- The TouchStone benchmark covers a total of 300+ images, 800+ questions, and 27 categories. Such as attribute-based Q&A, celebrity recognition, writing poetry, summarizing multiple images, product comparison, math problem solving, etc;
- In order to break the current limitation of GPT4 in terms of direct image input, TouchStone provides fine-grained image annotations by human labeling. These detailed annotations, along with the questions and the model's output, are then presented to GPT4 for scoring.
- The benchmark includes both English and Chinese versions.
The results of the evaluation are as follows:
Qwen-VL outperforms current SOTA generalist models on multiple VL tasks and has a more comprehensive coverage in terms of capability range.

- In text-related recognition/QA evaluation, Qwen-VL achieves the SOTA under the generalist LVLM scale settings.
- Resolution is important for several above evaluations. While most open-source LVLM models with 224 resolution are incapable of these evaluations or can only solve these by cutting images, Qwen-VL scales the resolution to 448 so that it can be evaluated end-to-end. Qwen-VL even outperforms Pic2Struct-Large models of 1024 resolution on some tasks.

- Qwen-VL achieves the **SOTA** in all above referring expression comprehension benchmarks.
- Qwen-VL has not been trained on any Chinese grounding data, but it can still generalize to the Chinese Grounding tasks in a zero-shot way by training Chinese Caption data and English Grounding data.
We provide all of the above evaluation scripts for reproducing our experimental results. Please read [eval/EVALUATION.md](eval/EVALUATION.md) for more information.

## Requirements
* python 3.8 and above
* pytorch 1.12 and above, 2.0 and above are recommended
* CUDA 11.4 and above are recommended (this is for GPU users)
## Quickstart
Below, we provide simple examples to show how to use Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat with 🤖 ModelScope and 🤗 Transformers.
Before running the code, make sure you have setup the environment and installed the required packages. Make sure you meet the above requirements, and then install the dependent libraries.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Now you can start with ModelScope or Transformers. More usage aboue vision encoder, please refer to [FAQ](FAQ.md).
#### 🤗 Transformers
To use Qwen-VL-Chat for the inference, all you need to do is to input a few lines of codes as demonstrated below. However, **please make sure that you are using the latest code.**
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from transformers.generation import GenerationConfig
import torch
torch.manual_seed(1234)
# Note: The default behavior now has injection attack prevention off.
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", trust_remote_code=True)
# use bf16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, bf16=True).eval()
# use fp16
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True, fp16=True).eval()
# use cpu only
# model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", device_map="cpu", trust_remote_code=True).eval()
# use cuda device
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", device_map="cuda", trust_remote_code=True).eval()
# Specify hyperparameters for generation
model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen-VL-Chat", trust_remote_code=True)
# 1st dialogue turn
query = tokenizer.from_list_format([
{'image': 'https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg'},
{'text': '这是什么'},
])
response, history = model.chat(tokenizer, query=query, history=None)
print(response)
# 图中是一名年轻女子在沙滩上和她的狗玩耍，狗的品种可能是拉布拉多。她们坐在沙滩上，狗的前腿抬起来，似乎在和人类击掌。两人之间充满了信任和爱。
# 2st dialogue turn
response, history = model.chat(tokenizer, '输出"击掌"的检测框', history=history)
print(response)
# <ref>击掌</ref><box>(517,508),(589,611)</box>
image = tokenizer.draw_bbox_on_latest_picture(response, history)
if image:
image.save('1.jpg')
else:
print("no box")
```
