# LLaVA Compress model weights to int4 using NNCF 
[LLaVA](https://llava-vl.github.io) (Large Language and Vision Assistant) is large multimodal model that aims to develop a general-purpose visual assistant that can follow both language and image instructions to complete various real-world tasks.

 LLaVA connects pre-trained [CLIP ViT-L/14](https://openai.com/research/clip) visual encoder and large language model like Vicuna, LLaMa v2 or MPT, using a simple projection matrix.
