Sa2VA-LLaVA-1.5-7B

Sa2VA-LLaVA-1.5-7B is a Sa2VA model built on LLaVA-1.5-7B (CLIP-ViT-L-336 vision encoder + Vicuna-7B language model) with a SAM2 grounding encoder. The MLLM predicts a [SEG] token whose hidden state conditions the SAM2 mask decoder, producing dense image and video referring segmentation alongside open-ended chat. It is intended as a LISA-comparable baseline within the Sa2VA family.

This checkpoint is self-contained : the SAM2 grounding code is vendored into the repository, so it loads with trust_remote_code=True without any extra packages.

Results

Image referring segmentation (cIoU):

Video referring segmentation (J&F):

Grounded conversation generation (GCG, val):

Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
from PIL import Image

path = "HarborYuan/Sa2VA-LLaVA-1.5-7B"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    path, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
).eval().cuda()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(path, trust_remote_code=True)

image = Image.open("your_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
out = model.predict_forward(
    image=image,
    text="<image>Please segment the dog in the image.",
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
)
print(out["prediction"])          # text response containing [SEG]
masks = out["prediction_masks"]   # list of boolean masks at the original image size

Load in bfloat16 (the lm_head is kept in higher precision; torch_dtype="auto" mixes dtypes and fails). This model uses a tokenizer (not an AutoProcessor ).

For video, pass video=[frame0, frame1, ...] (a list of PIL images) instead of image .

Notes

• SAM2 grounding input resolution is 1024.
• Built on Sa2VA .
