LLaVA-Scissor-baseline-0.5B

The model was presented in the paper LLaVA-Scissor: Token Compression with Semantic Connected Components for Video LLMs.

Code: https://github.com/HumanMLLM/LLaVA-Scissor

Model Summary

This repository contains the baseline model used in LLaVA-Scissor. This model is an enhanced version of LLaVA-OneVision model with SIGLIP vision encoder and Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct large language model and is finetuned with Oryx data.

Quick Start

Here we provide a script for LLaVA-Scissor full token inference (without token compression).
