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 ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿฆพ๐Ÿฆฟ

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 ๐Ÿงถ

โœจ 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
โœจ 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 โฏ๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿ“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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ
> 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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ

A complete RAG pipeline includes a reranker, which ranks the documents to find the best document ๐Ÿ““
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 ๐Ÿ”ฅ https://huggingface.co./learn/cookbook/multimodal_rag_using_document_retrieval_and_reranker_and_vlms

small but mighty ๐Ÿ”ฅ
you can fine-tune SmolVLM on an L4 with batch size of 4 and it will only take 16.4 GB VRAM ๐Ÿซฐ๐Ÿป also with gradient accumulation simulated batch size is 16 โœจ
I made a notebook that includes all the goodies: QLoRA, gradient accumulation, gradient checkpointing with explanations on how they work ๐Ÿ’ 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
โœ… (Inflexion, AdeptAI,...)

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

- Big breakthroughs in AI for video, time-series, biology and chemistry
โœ… for video ๐Ÿ”ดfor time-series, biology and chemistry

- We will talk much more about the cost (monetary and environmental) of AI
โœ…Monetary ๐Ÿ”ดEnvironmental (๐Ÿ˜ข)

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

- 10 millions AI builders on Hugging Face leading to no increase of unemployment
๐Ÿ”œcurrently 7M of AI builders on Hugging Face

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM ๐Ÿค  vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;

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

- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 ๐Ÿ’—

I've been in Brazil for 10 days now ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท

I've been surprised by the gap between the massive number of people interested in AI (chatgpt adoption is crazy here) and the relatively low number of real AI builders - aka people and companies building their own AI models, datasets and apps.

Lots of efforts needed across the world for everyone to participate, control and benefit this foundational technology, starting with open-source & multi-lingual AI, more access to GPUs & AI builder training for all!
