[📜 Tech Report]

InternVideo2.5 is a video multimodal large language model (MLLM, built upoon InternVL2.5) enhanced with long and rich context (LRC) modeling. It significantly improves upon existing MLLMs by enhancing their ability to perceive fine-grained details and capture long-form temporal structures. We achieve this through dense vision task annotations using direct preference optimization (TPO) and compact spatiotemporal representations via adaptive hierarchical token compression (HiCo). This model is a variant of InternVideo2.5's ablation experiment, built on HiCo technology only (R64 means 64 tokens per frames).

🚀 How to use the model

First, you need to install flash attention2 and some other modules. We provide a simple installation example below:

pip install transformers==4.40.1
pip install av
pip install imageio
pip install decord
pip install opencv-python
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Then you could use our model:

import numpy as np
import torch
import torchvision.transforms as T
from decord import VideoReader, cpu
from PIL import Image
from torchvision.transforms.functional import InterpolationMode
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer


# model setting
model_path = 'OpenGVLab/InternVL_2_5_HiCo_R64'
