This weight is for **initilizing training for Otter-MPT1B**.
It's directly converted from [openflamingo/OpenFlamingo-3B-vitl-mpt1b-langinstruct](https://huggingface.co/openflamingo/OpenFlamingo-3B-vitl-mpt1b-langinstruct).
You can load and try this model using
```python
model = OtterForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("luodian/OTTER-MPT7B-Init", device_map="sequential")
model.text_tokenizer.padding_side = "left"
tokenizer = model.text_tokenizer
image_processor = transformers.CLIPImageProcessor()
model.eval()
```
You can also start training Otter via the commands
```python
python -m accelerate.commands.launch --config_file=./pipeline/accelerate_configs/accelerate_config_fsdp.yaml \
pipeline/train/instruction_following.py \
--pretrained_model_name_or_path=luodian/OTTER-MPT1B-RPJama-Init \
--mimicit_path=/data/azure_storage/otter/mimicit/xx/xx_instructions.json \
--images_path=/data/azure_storage/otter/mimicit/xx/xx.json \
--batch_size=4 --num_epochs=1 --report_to_wandb \
--wandb_entity=ntu-slab \
--external_save_dir=/data/bli/checkpoints \
--save_hf_model \
--run_name=OTTER-MPT1B \
--wandb_project=OTTER-MPT1B \
--workers=4 \
--lr_scheduler=cosine \
--learning_rate=1e-5 \
--warmup_steps_ratio=0.01
```
If you wish to init a video instruction tuning, you should add
```json
"max_num_frames": 128
```
to `config.json` inside the folder.
Leave us a message if you have any error or question. You can follow [Otter code](https://github.com/Luodian/Otter) (see training section) to further tune your model on top of it.
