 Our paper, training and evaluation instructions are coming soon. In the current stage, we have provided preview-version dataset and model weights of **Q-Instruct**-tuned LLaVA-v1.5-7B/13B, variants of original LLaVA-v1.5 models whose instruction tuning (stage 2) is jointly supervised by `llava-mix-665k` and `q-instruct-200k`.
