### Quick Start With HuggingFace
Example Code
```Python
from llava.model.builder import load_pretrained_model
from llava.mm_utils import get_model_name_from_path
from llava.eval.run_llava import eval_model
model_path = "liuhaotian/llava-v1.5-7b"
tokenizer, model, image_processor, context_len = load_pretrained_model(
model_path=model_path,
model_base=None,
model_name=get_model_name_from_path(model_path)
)
```
Check out the details wth the `load_pretrained_model` function in `llava/model/builder.py`.
You can also use the `eval_model` function in `llava/eval/run_llava.py` to get the output easily. By doing so, you can use this code on Colab dire
