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

Coming back to Paris Friday to open our new Hugging Face office!

We're at capacity for the party but add your name in the waiting list as we're trying to privatize the passage du Caire for extra space for robots 🤖🦾🦿

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 🔥

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

small but mighty 🔥
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 💝 https://github.com/huggingface/smollm/blob/main/finetuning/Smol_VLM_FT.ipynb

Six predictions for AI in 2025 (and a review of how my 2024 predictions turned out):

- There will be the first major public protest related to AI
- A big company will see its market cap divided by two or more because of AI
- At least 100,000 personal AI robots will be pre-ordered
- China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race).
- There will be big breakthroughs in AI for biology and chemistry.
- We will begin to see the economic and employment growth potential of AI, with 15M AI builders on Hugging Face.

How my predictions for 2024 turned out:

- A hyped AI company will go bankrupt or get acquired for a ridiculously low price
✅ (Inflexion, AdeptAI,...)

- Open-source LLMs will reach the level of the best closed-source LLMs
✅ with QwQ and dozens of others

- Big breakthroughs in AI for video, time-series, biology and chemistry
✅ for video 🔴for time-series, biology and chemistry

- We will talk much more about the cost (monetary and environmental) of AI
✅Monetary 🔴Environmental (😢)

- A popular media will be mostly AI-generated
✅ with NotebookLM by Google

- 10 millions AI builders on Hugging Face leading to no increase of unemployment
🔜currently 7M of AI builders on Hugging Face
