LLM Multimodal Vibe-Check

We use this streamlit app to chat with different multimodal open-source and propietary LLMs. The idea is to quickly assess qualitatively (vibe-check) whether the model understands the nuance of harmful language.

Run Streamlit App

In the docker-compose.yml file, you will need to change the volume to point to your own huggingface model cache. To run the app, use the following command:

docker compose up videoapp

Run Only Inference Server

docker compose up rest_api

Structure

• Each multimodal LLM has a different way of consuming image(s). This codebase unifies the different interfaces e.g. of Phi-3, MinCPM, OpenAI GPT-4o, etc. This is done with a single base class LLM (interface) which is then implemented by each concrete model. You can find these implementation in the directory llmlib/llmlib/.
• The open-source implementation are based on the transformers library. I have experimented with vLLM, but it made the GPU run OOM. More fiddling is needed.
• I have extracted a REST API using FastAPI to decouple the frontend streamlit code from the inference server.
• The app supports small open-source models atm, because the inference server is running a single 24GB VRAM GPU. We will hopefully scale this backend up soon.
