The human ability to easily solve multimodal tasks in context (i.e., with only a few demonstrations or simple instructions), is what current multimodal systems have largely struggled to imitate. 
In this work, we demonstrate that the task-agnostic in-context learning capabilities of large multimodal models can be significantly enhanced by effective scaling-up. 
We introduce **Emu2**, a generative multimodal model with 37 billion parameters, trained on large-scale multimodal sequences with a unified autoregressive objective.
**Emu2** exhibits strong multimodal in-context learning abilities, even emerging to solve tasks that require on-the-fly reasoning, such as visual prompting and object-grounded generation.
The model sets a new record on multiple multimodal understanding tasks in few-shot settings.
When instruction-tuned to follow specific instructions, **Emu2** further achieves new state-of-the-art on challenging tasks such as question answering benchmarks for large multimodal models and open-ended subject-driven generation.
These achievements demonstrate that **Emu2** can serve as a base model and general-purpose interface for a wide range of multimodal tasks. 
Code and models are publicly available to facilitate future research.
