LLaMA-Adapter V2: a small tweak that makes big steps in visual instruction
Meet LLaMA-Adapter V2, a clever add-on that helps big language models follow visual instruction better, without needing huge extra training.
It lets more parts of the model learn, so the ability to respond to pictures spreads across the whole system — not just a tiny plug-in.
The design uses early fusion, meaning image tokens are mixed in early so the model can see visual clues sooner, and that seems to help a lot.
Training mixes simple image-text pairs with instruction chats but keeps different parts of the model focused, so they don't fight each other while learning.
You can also plug in extra helper tools like captioners or OCR at run time to boost image understanding, with no new training.
The result: strong multi-modal answers and smooth chat behavior by adding only about 14M parameters.
It’s a small change, big effect — and made to work fast with less data, so more people can try image-aware AI without massive cost or wait.
