Aya by Cohere For AI can now see! πŸ‘€

C4AI community has built Maya 8B, a new open-source multilingual VLM built on SigLIP and Aya 8B 🌱 works on 8 languages! πŸ—£οΈ

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 πŸ‘
kudos @nahidalam and team

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 πŸ“ˆ 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 πŸ”₯
> 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 πŸ”₯

A complete RAG pipeline includes a reranker, which ranks the documents to find the best document πŸ““
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 πŸ”₯ https://huggingface.co/learn/cookbook/multimodal_rag_using_document_retrieval_and_reranker_and_vlms

small but mighty πŸ”₯
you can fine-tune SmolVLM on an L4 with batch size of 4 and it will only take 16.4 GB VRAM 🫰🏻 also with gradient accumulation simulated batch size is 16 ✨
I made a notebook that includes all the goodies: QLoRA, gradient accumulation, gradient checkpointing with explanations on how they work πŸ’ https://github.com/huggingface/smollm/blob/main/finetuning/Smol_VLM_FT.ipynb

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM 🀠 vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;

- ColSmolVLM performs better than ColPali and DSE-Qwen2 on all English tasks

- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 πŸ’—
