MiniGPT-4 Alternative for GPT4

MiniGPT-4 aligns a frozen visual encoder from BLIP-2 with a frozen large language model (LLM) Vicuna using just one projection layer. MiniGPT-4 possesses many capabilities similar to those exhibited by GPT-4, such as generating detailed image descriptions and creating websites from hand-written drafts. Also, some emerging capabilities include writing stories and poems inspired by given images, providing solutions to problems shown in images, and teaching users how to cook based on food photos.

AI TOOL USED FOR Research

MiniGPT-4 is an advanced large language model that enhances vision-language understanding by aligning a frozen visual encoder with a frozen Large Language Model. MiniGPT-4 design is based on a vision encoder with a pre-trained VIT and Q-former, a single linear projection layer, and an advanced Vicuna Large Language Model.

It possesses many capabilities similar to GPT-4, such as generating detailed image descriptions and creating websites from hand-written drafts.

MiniGPT-4 requires training the linear layer to align the visual features with the Vicuna model. MiniGPT-4 model has highly computationally efficient training, using approximately 5 million aligned image-text pairs.
