VILA

VILA is a visual language model (VLM) pretrained with interleaved image-text data. See the paper and official repo for details.

How to use the API

To use VILA, provide an image and a text prompt. The model will generate a response to the query based on the image. The response is generated by decoding the model’s output using beam search with the specified parameters.

• image: The image to discuss.
• prompt: The query to generate a response for.
• top_p: When decoding text, samples from the top p percentage of most likely tokens; lower to ignore less likely tokens.
• temperature: When decoding text, higher values make the model more creative.
• num_beams: Number of beams to use when decoding text; higher values are slower but more accurate.
• max_tokens: Maximum number of tokens to generate.
