+# LLaVA
+
+An example of LLaVA: Large Language and Vision Assistant in MLX.[^1] LLlava is
+a multimodal model that can generate text given combined image and text inputs.
+
+## Setup
+
+Install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Run
+
+You can use LLaVA to ask questions about images.
+
+For example, using the command line:
+
+```bash
+python generate.py \
+  --model llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf \
+  --image "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg" \
+  --prompt "USER: <image>\nWhat are these?\nASSISTANT:" \
+  --max-tokens 128 \
+  --temp 0
+```
+
+This uses the following image:
+
+![alt text](http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg)
+ 
+And generates the output:
+
+```
+These are two cats lying on a pink couch.
+```
+
+You can also use LLaVA in Python:
+
+```python
+from generate import load_model, prepare_inputs, generate_text
+
+processor, model = load_model("llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf")
+
+max_tokens, temperature = 128, 0.0
+
+prompt = "USER: <image>\nWhat are these?\nASSISTANT:"
+image = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
+input_ids, pixel_values = prepare_inputs(processor, image, prompt)
+
+reply = generate_text(
+    input_ids, pixel_values, model, processor, max_tokens, temperature
+)
+
+print(reply)
+```
+
