R1-V: Low-cost reinforcement learning for visual language model generalization capability

General Introduction

R1-V is an open source project that aims to achieve breakthroughs in visual language modeling (VLM) through low-cost reinforcement learning (RL). The project utilizes a verifiable reward mechanism to incentivize VLMs to learn generic counting abilities. Amazingly, R1-V's 2B model outperforms a 72B model after only 100 training steps, while costing less than $3 to train. The entire training process took only 30 minutes on 8 A100 GPUs at a total cost of $2.62. The R1-V project is completely open source, and users can explore the unlimited potential of AI by experimenting and developing with R1-V models by accessing and contributing code through the GitHub platform.

Using Help

Installation process

1. clone warehouse: Run the following command in a terminal to clone the project repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Deep-Agent/R1-V.git

2. Installation of dependencies: Go to the project directory and install the required dependencies:

   cd R1-V
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configuration environment: Configure environment variables and paths according to project requirements.

Usage

1. Loading Models: Load the R1-V model in the code:

   from r1v import R1VModel
model = R1VModel()

2. Processing images and text: Use models to process image and text data:

   image_path = 'path/to/image.jpg'
text = 'text describing the image'
result = model.process(image_path, text)
print(result)

3. training model: Train models as needed for specific tasks:

   model.train(data_loader)

Detailed function operation flow

1. image classification: Load the image and use the model for classification:

   from PIL import Image
image = Image.open('path/to/image.jpg')
classification = model.classify(image)
print(classification)

2. target detection: Target detection using models:

   detections = model.detect_objects(image)
for detection in detections.
print(detection)

3. Text Generation: Generate descriptive text based on images:

   description = model.generate_text(image)
print(description)
