💬🔥Releasing idefics2-8b-chatty, the chat-optimized version of Idefics2!

It is a very efficient (8B parameters) state-of-the-art VLM, has been red-teamed, and comes with a few surprises:
- 📖Paper dissecting a lot of the experimental insights we learned building Idefics2:
- 🏎️TGI integration for blazing-fast inference (you can already run it locally with < 24GB GPU memory)
- 🏆 Ranking 2nd in its category (< 10B, open weights) in the awesome Open VLM Leaderboard, and now appearing in the incredible Vision Arena

Glad to see Idefics2 making its way into the awesome OpenVLM Leaderboard which ranks VLMs. 🏆
2nd in its category (<10B parameters and open weights)!

While InternLM-XComposer2 uses proprietary data, Idefics2 is built solely using openly available data.

Can't wait to see multimodal LLama 3!

We released a resource that might come in handy: The Cauldron 🍯

The Cauldron is a massive manually-curated collection of 50 vision-language sets for instruction fine-tuning. 3.6M images, 30.3M query/answer pairs.

It covers a large variety of downstream uses: visual question answering on natural images, OCR, document/charts/figures/tables understanding, textbooks/academic question, reasoning, captioning, spotting differences between 2 images, and screenshot-to-code.

New open multimodal model in town: Idefics2!

💪 Strong 8B-parameters model: often on par with open 30B counterparts.
🔓Open license: Apache 2.0.
🚀 Strong improvement over Idefics1: +12 points on VQAv2, +30 points on TextVQA while having 10x fewer parameters.
📚 Better data: boosting OCR capabilities with 6TB of documents to transcribe, and improving QA capabilities on charts/figures/diagrams.
🕵️‍♀️ Transparent training data: inspect and build upon all the data (10s of TB of data) we trained on.
🔲 More natural image processing: Incorporating strategies to treat images in their native resolution and native aspect ratio.
📸 High-resolution images: image resolutions up to 980 x 980 and integrating strategies that allow to trade computational efficiency for performance.
😎 2 checkpoints: Releasing both base checkpoint and instruction fine-tuned checkpoint. Chat version to come.
