LLaVA Weights
Please check out our Model Zoo for all public LLaVA checkpoints, and the instructions of how to use the weights.
Demo
Gradio Web UI
To launch a Gradio demo locally, please run the following commands one by one. If you plan to launch multiple model workers to compare between different checkpoints, you only need to launch the controller and the web server ONCE.

Launch a controller
python -m llava.serve.controller --host 0.0.0.0 --port 10000
Launch a gradio web server.
python -m llava.serve.gradio_web_server --controller http://localhost:10000 --model-list-mode reload
You just launched the Gradio web interface. Now, you can open the web interface with the URL printed on the screen. You may notice that there is no model in the model list. Do not worry, as we have not launched any model worker yet. It will be automatically updated when you launch a model worker.
Launch a SGLang worker
This is the recommended way to serve LLaVA model with high throughput, and you need to install SGLang first. Note that currently 4-bit quantization is not supported yet on SGLang-LLaVA, and if you have limited GPU VRAM, please check out model worker with quantization.
pip install "sglang[all]"
You'll first launch a SGLang backend worker which will execute the models on GPUs. Remember the --port you've set and you'll use that later.
# Single GPU
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b --tokenizer-path llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf --port 30000
# Multiple GPUs with tensor parallel
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b --tokenizer-path llava-hf/llava-1.5-13b-hf --port 30000 --tp 2
Tokenizers (temporary): llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf, llava-hf/llava-1.5-13b-hf, liuhaotian/llava-v1.6-34b-tokenizer.
You'll then launch a LLaVA-SGLang worker that will communicate between LLaVA controller and SGLang backend to route the requests. Set --sgl-endpoint to http://127.0.0.1:port where port is the one you just set (default: 30000).
python -m llava.serve.sglang_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --sgl-endpoint http://127.0.0.1:30000
Launch a model worker
This is the actual worker that performs the inference on the GPU. Each worker is responsible for a single model specified in --model-path.
python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b
Wait until the process finishes loading the model and you see "Uvicorn running on ...". Now, refresh your Gradio web UI, and you will see the model you just launched in the model list.
You can launch as many workers as you want, and compare between different model checkpoints in the same Gradio interface. Please keep the --controller the same, and modify the --port and --worker to a different port number for each worker.
python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port <different from 40000, say 40001> --worker http://localhost:<change accordingly, i.e. 40001> --model-path <ckpt2>
If you are using an Apple device with an M1 or M2 chip, you can specify the mps device by using the --device flag: --device mps.
Launch a model worker (Multiple GPUs, when GPU VRAM <= 24GB)
If the VRAM of your GPU is less than 24GB (e.g., RTX 3090, RTX 4090, etc.), you may try running it with multiple GPUs. Our latest code base will automatically try to use multiple GPUs if you have more than one GPU. You can specify which GPUs to use with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES. Below is an example of running with the first two GPUs.
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b
Launch a model worker (4-bit, 8-bit inference, quantized)
You can launch the model worker with quantized bits (4-bit, 8-bit), which allows you to run the inference with reduced GPU memory footprint, potentially allowing you to run on a GPU with as few as 12GB VRAM. Note that inference with quantized bits may not be as accurate as the full-precision model. Simply append --load-4bit or --load-8bit to the model worker command that you are executing. Below is an example of running with 4-bit quantization.
python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-13b --load-4bit
Launch a model worker (LoRA weights, unmerged)
You can launch the model worker with LoRA weights, without merging them with the base checkpoint, to save disk space. There will be additional loading time, while the inference speed is the same as the merged checkpoints. Unmerged LoRA checkpoints do not have lora-merge in the model name, and are usually much smaller (less than 1GB) than the merged checkpoints (13G for 7B, and 25G for 13B).
To load unmerged LoRA weights, you simply need to pass an additional argument --model-base, which is the base LLM that is used to train the LoRA weights. You can check the base LLM of each LoRA weights in the model zoo.
python -m llava.serve.model_worker --host 0.0.0.0 --controller http://localhost:10000 --port 40000 --worker http://localhost:40000 --model-path liuhao
