QwQ can see 🔥
Qwen team released QvQ, a large vision LM with reasoning 😱

it outperforms proprietary VLMs on several benchmarks, comes with open weights and a demo!
Check them out ⬇️
Demo Qwen/QVQ-72B-preview
Model Qwen/QVQ-72B-Preview

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

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 🔥

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥

How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)

We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"

We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.

In our blog post we cover:

📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.

🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.

🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM

Here's the links:

- Blog post: HuggingFaceH4/blogpost-scaling-test-time-compute

- Code: https://github.com/huggingface/search-and-learn

Enjoy!

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
