RLAIF-V: Open-Source AI Feedback Leads to Super GPT-4V Trustworthiness

Abstract

Traditional feedback learning for hallucination reduction relies on labor-intensive manual labeling or expensive proprietary models.This leaves the community without foundational knowledge about how to build high-quality feedback with open-source MLLMs.In this work, we introduce RLAIF-V, a novel framework that aligns MLLMs in a fully open-source paradigm. RLAIF-V maximally explores open-source MLLMs from two perspectives, including high-quality feedback data generation for preference learning and self-feedback guidance for inference-time scaling.Extensive experiments on seven benchmarks in both automatic and human evaluation show that RLAIF-V substantially enhances the trustworthiness of models at both preference learning and inference time. RLAIF-V 7B reduces object hallucination by 80.7% and overall hallucination by 33.7%. Remarkably, RLAIF-V 12B further reveals the self-alignment potential of open-source MLLMs, where the model can learn from feedback of itself to achieve super GPT-4V trustworthiness.
