# LLaVA-RLHF: Aligning Large Multimodal Models with Factually Augmented RLHF

LLaVA-RLHF represents the first open-source RLHF-trained large multimodal model for general-purpose visual and language understanding, achieving impressive visual reasoning and perception capabilities. For comprehensive details and insights, we kindly direct you to our project page and paper.

Inference

To deploy or play with our model, please refer to the demo directory.

Train

We propose a new alignment algorithm called Factually Augmented RLHF (Fact-RLHF) that augments the reward model with additional factual information such as image captions and ground-truth multi-choice options, which alleviates the reward hacking phenomenon in RLHF and further improves the performance.

LLaVA-RLHF is trained on 8 A100 GPUs with 80GB memory. To train on fewer GPUs, you can reduce the per_device_train_batch_size and increase the gradient_accumulation_steps accordingly. Always keep the global batch size the same: per_device_train_batch_size x gradient_accumulation_steps x num_gpus.

The SFT training pipeline is provided in the SFT directory, and the RLHF training pipeline is provided in the RLHF directory.
