ByteDance just dropped SA2VA: a new family of vision LMs combining Qwen2VL/InternVL and SAM2 with MIT license 💗 ByteDance/sa2va-model-zoo-677e3084d71b5f108d00e093

> The models are capable of tasks involving vision-language understanding and visual referrals (referring segmentation) both for images and videos ⏯️

> The models come in 1B, 4B and 8B and are based on InternVL2.5 for base architecture and Qwen2, Qwen2.5 and InternLM2 for language model part (depending on the checkpoint)

> The model is very interesting, it has different encoders for different modalities each (visual prompt, text prompt, image and video) then it concatenates these to feed into LLM 💬

the output segmentation tokens are passed to SAM2, to sort of match text (captions or semantic classes) to masks ⤵️

> Their annotation pipeline is also interesting, they seems to use two open large vision LMs to refine the annotations, and have different levels of descriptions to provide consistency.

supercharge your LLM apps with smolagents 🔥

however cool your LLM is, without being agentic it can only go so far

enter smolagents: a new agent library by Hugging Face to make the LLM write code, do analysis and automate boring stuff!

Here's our blog for you to get started https://huggingface.co./blog/smolagents

Aya by Cohere For AI can now see! 👀

C4AI community has built Maya 8B, a new open-source multilingual VLM built on SigLIP and Aya 8B 🌱 works on 8 languages! 🗣️

The authors extend Llava dataset using Aya's translation capabilities with 558k examples!
ry it here kkr5155/maya_demo

Dataset maya-multimodal/pretrain

Model maya-multimodal/maya 👏
kudos @nahidalam and team

In the past seven days, the Diffusers team has shipped:

1. Two new video models
2. One new image model
3. Two new quantization backends
4. Three new fine-tuning scripts
5. Multiple fixes and library QoL improvements

Coffee on me if someone can guess 1 - 4 correctly.

Apollo is a new family of open-source video language models by Meta, where 3B model outperforms most 7B models and 7B outperforms most 30B models 🧶

✨ the models come in 1.5B https://huggingface.co./Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-1_5B-t32, 3B https://huggingface.co./Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B-t32 and 7B https://huggingface.co./Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-7B-t32 with A2.0 license, based on Qwen1.5 & Qwen2
✨ the authors also release a benchmark dataset https://huggingface.co./spaces/Apollo-LMMs/ApolloBench

The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work ⏯️

Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co./spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B
they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more!
> The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled 📈 scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models
> They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal
> They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2
they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful 🔥
> they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield

They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models 🔥

Image Prompt Engineering Guide:
➡️ Artistic styling for Image generation
➡️ Prompt weighting using the parentheses method to generate realistic images.
➡️ Advanced features like style and positioning control[experimental].
➡️ Image placement on the generated AI image using Recraft V3 Mockup.

A complete RAG pipeline includes a reranker, which ranks the documents to find the best document 📓
Same goes for multimodal RAG, multimodal rerankers which we can integrate to multimodal RAG pipelines!
Learn how to build a complete multimodal RAG pipeline with vidore/colqwen2-v1.0 as retriever, lightonai/MonoQwen2-VL-v0.1 as reranker, Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct as VLM in this notebook that runs on a GPU as small as L4 🔥 https://huggingface.co./learn/cookbook/multimodal_rag_using_document_retrieval_and_reranker_and_vlms

Introducing a high-quality open-preference dataset to further this line of research for image generation.

Despite being such an inseparable component for modern image generation, open preference datasets are a rarity!

So, we decided to work on one with the community!

Check it out here:

The Control family of Flux from @black-forest-labs should be discussed more!

It enables structural controls like ControlNets while being significantly less expensive to run!

So, we're working on a Control LoRA training script 🤗

It's still WIP, so go easy:
