How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct with Docker Model Runner:
docker model run hf.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct
Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct and Llama-3.2-11B-Vision results are exactly same, coincidentally or it's same model?
I benchmarked the model on several datasets, and I noticed that the results were identical, including the floating-point details.
Both share the same Base, the instruct Model was taught Instruction-Following after the base model was trained
@aaditya Can you tell me more what benchmark did you run? How did you run them and what result did you get? Thanks!

@Sanyam Yes, you're absolutely right. However, after fine-tuning the base model, isn't it common for performance to change slightly, whether it's an improvement or a slight decline?
@wukaixingxp I evaluated the medical benchmark multimedqa, which includes 9 different datasets, using lm-harness. I tried twice and got the same results both times, though I acknowledge there could be a possibility of an error on my part.
Hi @wukaixingxp Here are the details:
command for Llama-3.2-11B-Vision
lm_eval --model hf \ --model_args pretrained=meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision \ --tasks multimedqa \ --device cuda:0 \ --batch_size auto \ --output_path results --log_samples
Result on single A100:

@aaditya For instruct model please use --apply_chat_template option to get the special token like <|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|> added. Let me know if that works.
