Long context capability can zero-shot transfer from language to vision.
LongVA can process 2000 frames or over 200K visual tokens. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on Video-MME among 7B models.
- [2024/08/08] 🔥 Released training code for vision text alignment.
- [2024/06/24] 🔥 LongVA is released. Training code for vision text alignment is coming soon.
This codebase is tested on CUDA 11.8 and A100-SXM-80G.

print(outputs)To begin, download a video longer than one hour to use as the haystack video and save it at vision_niah/data/haystack_videos/movie.mp4. We cannot provide the video ourselves as we use an actual movie in our evaluation.
You can view all needle questions at lmms-lab/v_niah_needles.
huggingface-cli download lmms-lab/LongVA-7B --local-dir vision_niah/model_weights/LongVA-7B
sh vision_niah/eval.shResults will be saved to vision_niah/niah_output. We run on V-NIAH using PPL-based evaluation. If you want to use generation-based evaluation, check out a demo at vision_niah/eval_vision_niah_sampling.py. Please refer to Section 4 of our paper for more details.
We provide both our video and image evaluation pipeline using lmms-eval. After installing lmms-eval and longva, you can use the following script to evaluate on both image and video tasks
Image evaluation command
accelerate launch --num_processes 8 --main_process_port 12345 -m lmms_eval \
--model longva \
--model_args pretrained=lmms-lab/LongVA-7B,conv_template=qwen_1_5,model_name=llava_qwen \
--tasks mme \
--batch_size 1 \
--log_samples \
--log_samples_suffix mme_longva \
--output_path ./logs/Video evaluation command
accelerate launch --num_processes 8 --main_process_port 12345 -m lmms_eval \
--model longva \
--model_args pretrained=lmms-lab/LongVA-7B,conv_template=qwen_1_5,video_decode_backend=decord,max_frames_num=32,model_name=llava_qwen \
--tasks videomme \

--log_samples \
--log_samples_suffix videomme_longva \
--output_path ./logs/ sh text_extend/extend_qwen2.shIt takes around 2 days to train the model on 8 A100 GPUs. You can also download our long-context-pretrained model from huggingface:
huggingface-cli download lmms-lab/Qwen2-7B-Instrcuct-224K --local-dir text_extend/training_output/Qwen2-7B-Instrcuct-224KYou can evaluate the text-niah performance with this command:
sh text_extend/eval.shThe results will be saved to text_extend/niah_output.
Please refer to LLaVA-NeXT data for data preparation and longva/scripts for training.
