VLMEvalKit (the python package name is vlmeval) is an open-source evaluation toolkit of large vision-language models (LVLMs). It enables one-command evaluation of LVLMs on various benchmarks, without the heavy workload of data preparation under multiple repositories. In VLMEvalKit, we adopt generation-based evaluation for all LVLMs, and provide the evaluation results obtained with both exact matching and LLM-based answer extraction.

See [QuickStart | 快速开始] for a quick start guide.

# Demo
from vlmeval.config import supported_VLM
model = supported_VLM['NEO1_0-2B-SFT']()
# Forward Single Image
ret = model.generate(['assets/apple.jpg', 'What is in this image?'])
print(ret)  # The image features a red apple with a leaf on it.
# Forward Multiple Images
ret = model.generate(['assets/apple.jpg', 'assets/apple.jpg', 'How many apples are there in the provided images? '])
print(ret)  # There are two apples in the provided images.
