## Introduction

Sa2VA is an MLLM capable of question answering, visual prompt understanding, and dense object segmentation at both image and video levels. It achieves comparable performance to SOTA MLLMs Qwen2-VL and InternVL2.5 on question-answering benchmarks. Additionally, Sa2VA possesses the visual prompt understanding and dense object segmentation capabilities that SOTA MLLMs Qwen2-VL and InternVL2.5 lack. Sa2VA achieves SOTA performance on both image and video grounding and segmentation benchmarks.

## Sa2VA Family

We built the Sa2VA series based on Qwen2-VL and InternVL2/2.5. In the following table, we provide some Sa2VA models built on InternVL2.5. Other Sa2VA models will be open-sourced soon.

## Quick Start

We provide an example code to run `Sa2VA` using `transformers`.

```python
import torch

import os

def get_rank_and_world_size():
    rank = int(os.environ.get('RANK', 0))
    world_size = int(os.environ.get('WORLD_SIZE', 1))
    return rank, world_size

def split_model(model_name):
    import math
    device_map = {}
    num_gpus = torch.cuda.device_count()
    rank, world_size = get_rank_and_world_size()
    num_gpus = num_gpus // world_size

    num_layers = {'Sa2VA-8B': 32, 'Sa2VA-26B': 48,
                  'Sa2VA-38B': 64, 'Sa2VA-78B': 80}[model_name]
    # Since the first GPU will be used for ViT, treat it as 0.8 GPU.
    num_layers_per_gpu = math.ceil(num_layers / (num_gpus - 0.2))
    num_layers_per_gpu = [num_layers_per_gpu] * num_gpus
