# Mengzi-oscar-base (Chinese Multi-modal pre-training model)
Mengzi-oscar is trained based on the Multi-modal pre-training model [Oscar](https://github.com/microsoft/Oscar), and is initialized using [Mengzi-Bert-Base](https://github.com/Langboat/Mengzi). 3.7M pairs of images and texts were used, including 0.7M Chinese image-caption pairs, 3M Chinese image-question pairs, a total of 0.22M different images.
