# Finetune OpenGV's InternVL with Axolotl
[InternVL 3.5](https://huggingface.co/OpenGVLab/InternVL3_5-8B-HF) is a family of powerful vision-language models supporting dynamic resolution and multi-image understanding by OpenGV. It features a ViT-style vision encoder and strong language model backbone for tasks like visual question answering, OCR, and scene text understanding.
This guide shows how to fine-tune it with Axolotl.
## Getting started
1. Install Axolotl following the [installation guide](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/installation.html).
2. Install `timm` for vision model support:
```bash
pip install timm==1.0.19
```
3. Install [Cut Cross Entropy](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/custom_integrations.html#cut-cross-entropy) to reduce training VRAM usage.
4. Run the finetuning example:
```bash
axolotl train examples/internvl3_5/internvl3_5-8b-qlora.yml
```
This config uses about 8.21 GiB VRAM. Let us know how it goes. Happy finetuning! 🚀
### Tips
- You can run a full finetuning by removing the `adapter: qlora` and `load_in_4bit: true` from the config.
- Read more on how to load your own dataset at [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/dataset_loading.html).
- The dataset format follows the multi-modal format as seen [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/multimodal.html#dataset-format).
## Optimization Guides
Please check the [Optimizations doc](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/optimizations.html).
