😮 Highlights

Video-LLaVA exhibits remarkable interactive capabilities between images and videos, despite the absence of image-video pairs in the dataset.

💡 Simple baseline, learning united visual representation by alignment before projection

• With the binding of unified visual representations to the language feature space, we enable an LLM to perform visual reasoning capabilities on both images and videos simultaneously.

🔥 High performance, complementary learning with video and image

• Extensive experiments demonstrate the complementarity of modalities, showcasing significant superiority when compared to models specifically designed for either images or videos.

🤗 Demo

Gradio Web UI

Highly recommend trying out our web demo by the following command, which incorporates all features currently supported by Video-LLaVA. We also provide online demo in Huggingface Spaces.

python -m  videollava.serve.gradio_web_server
