LLaVA-o1: Let Vision Language Models Reason Step-by-Step

Researchers have unveiled LLaVA-o1, a new artificial intelligence model that significantly improves how computers understand and reason about images. Unlike previous models that struggled with complex visual questions, LLaVA-o1 breaks down the reasoning process into separate steps: summarizing, interpreting visuals, logical reasoning, and drawing conclusions. This step-by-step approach allows it to answer visual questions more accurately. The team trained LLaVA-o1 on a new dataset of 100,000 samples and introduced a method to enhance its performance during processing. Despite using fewer training examples, LLaVA-o1 outperforms not only its original version but also larger models like Gemini-1.5-pro and GPT-4o-mini.
