LLaVA-MoD: Making LLaVA Tiny via MoE-Knowledge Distillation

We introduce LLaVA-MoD, a novel framework designed to enable the efficient training of small-scale Multimodal Language Models ($s$-MLLM) distilling knowledge from large-scale MLLM ($l$-MLLM). Our approach tackles two fundamental challenges in MLLM distillation. First, we optimize the network structu…
