Align-Anything enables aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences and intentions across various modalities. It addresses the challenge of ensuring models generate outputs that are not only coherent but also aligned with desired behaviors and values. The project provides a flexible and modular framework for fine-tuning models using diverse alignment algorithms, including those based on Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and others. This allows for enhanced control over model behavior and improved safety.
Notable for its modular design, Align-Anything offers versatile fine-tuning options for various multi-modal models (image, video, audio). It supports multiple alignment methods, including SFT, DPO, and PPO, and provides a command-line interface (CLI) for streamlined operation. Recent integration with the eval-anything framework enables comprehensive evaluation of models. The project also features tutorials and examples for text-to-text, text-to-image, and video-to-text alignment.
