# LongVA
🌐 Blog | 📃 Paper | 🤗 Hugging Face | 🎥 Demo
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.
# Usage
First follow the instructions in [our repo](https://github.com/EvolvingLMMs-Lab/LongVA) to install relevant packages.
```python
from longva.model.builder import load_pretrained_model
from longva.mm_utils import tokenizer_image_token, process_images
from longva.constants import IMAGE_TOKEN_INDEX
from PIL import Image
from decord import VideoReader, cpu
import torch
import numpy as np
# fix seed
torch.manual_seed(0)
model_path = "lmms-lab/LongVA-7B-DPO"
image_path = "local_demo/assets/lmms-eval.png"
video_path = "local_demo/assets/dc_demo.mp4"
max_frames_num = 16 # you can change this to several thousands so long you GPU memory can handle it :)
gen_kwargs = {"do_sample": True, "temperature": 0.5, "top_p": None, "num_beams": 1, "use_cache": True, "max_new_tokens": 1024}
tokenizer, model, image_processor, _ = load_pretrained_model(model_path, None, "llava_qwen", device_map="cuda:0")
#image input
prompt = "<|im_start|>system\nYou are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n\nDescribe the image in details.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"
input_ids = tokenizer_image_token(prompt, tokenizer, IMAGE_TOKEN_INDEX, return_tensors="pt").unsqueeze(0).to(model.device)
image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
images_tensor = process_images([image], image_processor, model.config).to(model.device, dtype=torch.float16)
with torch.inference_mode():
output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, images=[images_tensor], image_sizes=[image.size], modalities=["image"], **gen_kwargs)
outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0].strip()
print(outputs)
print("-"*50)
#video input
prompt = "<|im_start|>system\nYou are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user\n\nGive a detailed caption of the video as if I am blind.<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"
input_ids = tokenizer_image_token(prompt, tokenizer, IMAGE_TOKEN_INDEX, return_tensors="pt").unsqueeze(0).to(model.device)
vr = VideoReader(video_path, ctx=cpu(0))
total_frame_num = len(vr)
uniform_sampled_frames = np.linspace(0, total_frame_num - 1, max_frames_num, dtype=int)
frame_idx = uniform_sampled_frames.tolist()
frames = vr.get_batch(frame_idx).asnumpy()
video_tensor = image_processor.preprocess(frames, return_tensors="pt")["pixel_values"].to(model.device, dtype=torch.float16)
with torch.inference_mode():
output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, images=[video_tensor], modalities=["video"], **gen_kwargs)
outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0].strip()
print(outputs)
