Today (September 17th, 2024), we introduce NVLM 1.0, a family of frontier-class multimodal large language models (LLMs) that achieve state-of-the-art results on vision-language tasks, rivaling the leading proprietary models (e.g., GPT-4o) and open-access models (e.g., Llama 3-V 405B and InternVL 2). Remarkably, NVLM 1.0 shows improved text-only performance over its LLM backbone after multimodal training.
In this repo, we are open-sourcing NVLM-1.0-D-72B (decoder-only architecture), the decoder-only model weights and code for the community.

We train our model with legacy Megatron-LM and adapt the codebase to Huggingface for model hosting, reproducibility, and inference. We observe numerical differences between the Megatron and Huggingface codebases, which are within the expected range of variation. We provide the results from both the Huggingface codebase and the Megatron codebase for reproducibility and comparison with other models.
Results (as of September 17th, 2024) in the multimodal benchmarks are as follows:

When converting Megatron checkpoint to Huggingface, we adapt InternVL codebase to support model loading and multi-GPU inference in HF.
We also use the tokenizer from Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct when adapting the tokenizer to Huggingface, as it contains extra special tokens for vision tasks, e.g., <|vision_pad|>.
We train NVLM-1.0-D-72B based on the Qwen2-72B-Instruct text-only model and InternViT-6B-448px-V1-5 ViT model with our large-scale high-quality multimodal dataset.
For training code, please refer to Megatron-LM (Coming soon).
We provide a docker build file in the Dockerfile for reproduction.
The docker image is based on nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:23.09-py3.
Note: We observe that different transformer versions / CUDA versions / docker versions can lead to slight benchmark number differences. We recommend using the Dockerfile above for precise reproduction.
