Developed by: KielTech

Model Type: Vision-Language Model (Multimodal Chat & Analysis)

Base Model: llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf

License: Apache 2.0

Fine-tuning Method: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) / LoRA

Frameworks: Transformers, TRL, PEFT

Model Description KielLens-chat is a high-performance, fine-tuned vision-language model designed for conversational image-grounded reasoning. By building upon the LLaVA architecture, KielLens-chat is optimized for fluid, human-like interaction with visual data, enabling users to upload images and ask complex, context-aware questions.

Intended Uses Multimodal Chat: Natural, image-based conversational assistants.

Visual Question Answering (VQA): Extracting insights and descriptive details from photographs.

Contextual Reasoning: Understanding relationships between objects, people, and environments within an image.

How to Get Started You can load the adapters directly on top of the base model using the transformers library:

Python from peft import PeftModel from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

Load the base model

base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf")

Load the KielLens-chat adapters

model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "kiel2/KielLens-chat") Training Procedure The model was fine-tuned using the TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning) library with the following configurations:

Quantization: 4-bit (via NF4) to maintain efficiency without compromising inference speed.

Target Modules: Vision-attention layers (q_proj, v_proj).

Optimization: Paged AdamW 32-bit.

Precision: Mixed precision (bf16/fp16).

Limitations and Ethical Considerations Input Sensitivity: Performance may vary based on image resolution and lighting quality.

Bias: As an extension of the LLaVA architecture, the model may reflect biases present in its pre-training data.

Generalization: While optimized for chat, the model should be used with human oversight for mission-critical visual analysis tasks.

💡 Pro-Tip for your HF Page: Make sure to add the YAML metadata block at the very top of your README.md file (the system uses this to categorize your model):
