HuatuoGPT-Vision-7B

GitHub | Paper

Introduction

HuatuoGPT-Vision is a multimodal LLM for medical applications, built with the PubMedVision dataset. HuatuoGPT-Vision-7B is trained based on Qwen2-7B using the LLaVA-v1.5 architecture.

Quick Start

Get the model inference code from Github.

git clone https://github.com/FreedomIntelligence/HuatuoGPT-Vision.git

Model inference

query = 'What does the picture show?'
image_paths = ['image_path1']

from cli import HuatuoChatbot
bot = HuatuoChatbot(huatuogpt_vision_model_path) # loads the model 
output = bot.inference(query, image_paths) # generates
print(output)  # Prints the model output
