A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing LLaVA with Ollama: Open-Source ChatGPT Vision
Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to install LLaVA with Ollama! In today's blog post, we'll show you how to use LLaVA, an open-source multimodal model that gives you vision capabilities similar to GPT-4 Vision. The best part? You can run it on your own computer! Whether you're a technical expert or a general reader, this guide will walk you through the installation process and get you up and running with LLaVA.
Getting Started
First things first, you'll need to fork the repo. While this isn't the official repository, someone has created a fork that allows you to upload images and use multimodels. Once you've forked the repo, clone it to your local machine. If you want to add the original repository as a remote, go ahead and do so. Next, fetch and check out the branch. Lastly, push the changes so that your fork is updated on GitHub.
Now you'll be in a folder where you can run the "go generate" command. If you don't already have the necessary installations, make sure to install them. After that, run "go generate", followed by "go build". Congrats, you have now installed AMA!
Running LLaVA
To start running LLaVA, simply execute the command "AMA serve". Make sure your model is installed and everything is set up correctly. If you have a more powerful machine, you'll receive responses much quicker than on lower-end systems.
Once the model is installed, navigate to the app folder. Inside, run "npm install" followed by "npm start". This will initialize the LLaVA module and prompt you to install LLaMA. Uninstall the old version of LLaMA and install the new one, ensuring that it connects to the port. You'll be able to access LLaVA via your command line interface.
Now, open the terminal and run "python main.py". This will send a Python request with an image and ask the model to identify its contents. The response will be displayed in the terminal.
Analyzing the Results
Let's take a closer look at an example. Suppose the image shows a computer screen with Google's homepage open, featuring a sign-in button. With LLaVA, we can ask the model what's in the image, and it will provide a response. By examining the output, we can see that the image is a screenshot of Google's homepage with a sign-in button. We can even automate this process and programmatically interact with the elements identified by the model.
Now, let's enhance the image analysis by providing more context. We'll add additional prompts and send more data to the model. This may take longer, as the model has more information to process, but the goal is to receive a detailed response in JSON format.
