```
We train and release "Cerule", a tiny yet powerful Vision Lanuage Model based on the newly released Google's [Gemma-2b](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2b) and Google's [SigLIP](https://huggingface.co/google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384).
```
- Pretraining stage : 650K images (A LAION Subset)
- Finetuning stage : 695K images (SVIT-mix-665K - Bunny mix modified by BAAI)
```
The training setup was `4xA100's 80GB` and took ~6 hours to pretrain and ~13 hours to finetune. We modify and adapt the training code from [Bunny](https://github.com/BAAI-DCAI/Bunny).

| Image | Example |
|-------|---------|
| ![astronaut](examples/astronaut.png) | **Describe the image**
The image is a playful and surreal depiction of a man in a space suit, sitting on a chair and holding a green beer bottle. The man is wearing a white space suit, complete with a helmet and gloves. His feet are clad in black and white shoes, and he is placed on a sandy surface. The background features a large, blue planet, with a moon and a star visible in the sky. |
| ![mario](examples/mario.png) | **Who are the characters in the image?**
The image features three characters, two of them are Mario and Luigi, and the third one is Yoshi.
**Describe the actions of the characters**
The Mario and Luigi characters are holding their arms out, as if they are waving. Yoshi is standing on its own, with its arms folded. |
| ![extreme_ironing](examples/extreme_ironing.jpg) | **What's funny about this image?**
The image is quite humorous as it depicts a man ironing clothes on the back of a yellow taxi cab. This is not a typical sight you'd expect to see in everyday life. |
