# AskVideos-7B-Instruct-v0.1

## Model details

**Model type:**
AskVideos-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning a Video-LLaMA variant on additional video Q&A data.
It uses a frozen Vicuna 7B v1.1 LLM to answer Video-Text queries and a frozen BLIP style image encoder.
A video feature is derived from the encoded image using a video-QFormer and the result is projected onto the LLM space.
