LLaVA-OneVision-2 is an openly released multimodal AI model and training framework that processes images, long-form video, and spatial information. Researchers use it to train, evaluate, and reproduce vision-language models with the project’s released data, encoders, checkpoints, and training records. The catalogue skills support work with this model and its training resources.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.09423 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.04712 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.01885 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00942 |
Grade A, and why
merge-ov2 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 684 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Purpose / 用途
Use this skill when merging a standalone ViT encoder and LLM into a unified LlavaOnevision2 HuggingFace checkpoint, and when validating that the merged weights and inference outputs are consistent with the originals.
当需要将独立的 ViT encoder 和 LLM 合并成统一的 LlavaOnevision2 HuggingFace checkpoint,并验证合并后权重和推理输出与原始模型一致时,使用这个 skill。
Prerequisites / 前置条件
- Container
llava_megatron_container_axrunning with GPU access - All paths below assume execution inside the container at
/workspace/LLaVA-OneVision-2 PYTHONPATH=transformers_impl:.must be set for all Python commands- For large models, use tmpfs (
/train_tmp) for I/O performance
容器 llava_megatron_container_ax 需启动并有 GPU 访问权限。以下所有路径假设在容器内 /workspace/LLaVA-OneVision-2 执行。所有 Python 命令需设置 PYTHONPATH=transformers_impl:.。大模型建议用内存盘 /train_tmp。
Architecture / 架构
What merge_ov2 does / merge_ov2 做了什么
ViT encoder (e.g. onevision_encoder_patch16_0424)
+ LLM (e.g. Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507)
+ Processor (e.g. lmms-lab-encoder/LLaVA-OneVision-2-8B-Instruct)
→ Unified LlavaOnevision2ForConditionalGeneration checkpoint
Key transformations during merge:
合并时的关键转换:
- ViT weights are prefixed with
visual.(e.g.encoder.layers.0.self_attn.q_proj.weight→visual.encoder.layers.0.self_attn.qkv.weight) - QKV fusion: separate
q_proj / k_proj / v_projare concatenated into fusedself_attn.qkv(introduces ~1e-7 bf16 divergence) - LLM weights are prefixed with
language_model.(e.g.model.layers.0.self_attn.q_proj.weight→language_model.model.layers.0.self_attn.q_proj.weight) - Adapter (
multi_modal_projector) is randomly initialized if no adapter checkpoint is provided layernorm_postfrom ViT is dropped (not used in LlavaOnevision2)class_embeddingmay not exist in some ViT encoders (e.g. patch16 variant)

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

merge-ov2 is a skill published in the GitHub repository EvolvingLMMs-Lab/LLaVA-OneVision-2 (1,200 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 9,423 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
