It is recommended to use the latest version: Ovis2.
Introduction
Ovis is a novel Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) architecture, designed to structurally align visual and textual embeddings. For a comprehensive introduction, please refer to Ovis paper and Ovis GitHub.
Model
As always, Ovis1.5 remains fully open-source: we release the training datasets, training & inference codes, and model weights for reproducible transparency and community collaboration.
| Ovis MLLMs | ViT | LLM | Training Datasets | Code | Model Weights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ovis1.5-Llama3-8B | Siglip-400M | Llama3-8B-Instruct | Huggingface | Github | Huggingface |
| Ovis1.5-Gemma2-9B | Siglip-400M | Gemma2-9B-It | Huggingface | Github | Huggingface |
Performance
We evaluate Ovis1.5 across various multimodal benchmarks using VLMEvalKit and compare its performance to leading MLLMs with similar parameter scales.

Usage
Below is a code snippet to run Ovis with multimodal inputs. For additional usage instructions, including inference wrapper and Gradio UI, please refer to Ovis GitHub.
pip install torch==2.1.0 transformers==4.42.4 pillow==10.3.0
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
# load model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AIDC-AI/Ovis1.5-Llama3-8B",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
multimodal_max_length=8192,
trust_remote_code=True).cuda()
text_tokenizer = model.get_text_tokenizer()
visual_tokenizer = model.get_visual_tokenizer()
conversation_formatter = model.get_conversation_formatter()
# enter image path and prompt
image_path = input("Enter image path: ")
image = Image.open(image_path)
text = input("Enter prompt: ")
query = f'<image>\n{text}'
prompt, input_ids = conversation_formatter.format_query(query)
input_ids = torch.unsqueeze(input_ids, dim=0).to(device=model.device)
attention_mask = torch.ne(input_ids, text_tokenizer.pad_token_id).to(device=model.device)
pixel_values = [visual_tokenizer.preprocess_image(image).to(
dtype=visual_tokenizer.dtype, device=visual_tokenizer.device)]
# generate output
with torch.inference_mode():
gen_kwargs = dict(
max_new_tokens=1024,
do_sample=False,
top_p=None,
top_k=None,
temperature=None,
repetition_penalty=None,
eos_token_id=model.generation_config.eos_token_id,
pad_token_id=text_tokenizer.pad_token_id,
use_cache=True
)
output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, pixel_values=pixel_values, attention_mask=attention_mask, **gen_kwargs)[0]
output = text_tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(f'Output: {output}')
