pretrain_dsg_OLA-VLM-CLIP-ConvNeXT-Llama3-8b Model Card

Note: This is the pretrained model used for OLA-VLM-CLIP-ConvNeXT-Llama3-8b.

OLA-VLM distills target visual information into the intermediate representations of the LLM from a set of target encoders. It adopts a predictive embedding optimization approach at selected LLM layers during training to minimize the embedding losses along with the next token prediction (NTP) objective, resulting in a vision-centric approach to training the Multimodal Large Language Model.
