+In the field of artificial intelligence, the goal is to create a versatile assistant capable of understanding and executing tasks based on both visual and language inputs. Current approaches often rely on large vision models that solve tasks independently, with language only used to describe image content. While effective, these models have fixed interfaces with limited interactivity and adaptability to user instructions. On the other hand, large language models (LLMs) have shown promise as a universal interface for general-purpose assistants. By explicitly representing various task instructions in language, these models can be guided to switch and solve different tasks. To extend this capability to the multimodal domain, the [LLaVA paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.08485) introduces `visual instruction-tuning`, a novel approach to building a general-purpose visual assistant.
