🤗👤 💻 Speaking of AI agents ...
...Is easier with the right words ;)

My colleagues @meg @evijit @sasha and @giadap just published a wonderful blog post outlining some of the main relevant notions with their signature blend of value-informed and risk-benefits contrasting approach. Go have a read!

there's a new multimodal retrieval model in town 🤠
LlamaIndex released vdr-2b-multi-v1
> uses 70% less image tokens, yet outperforming other dse-qwen2 based models
> 3x faster inference with less VRAM 💨
> shrinkable with matryoshka 🪆
> can do cross-lingual retrieval!
Collection: llamaindex/visual-document-retrieval-678151d19d2758f78ce910e1 (with models and datasets)
Demo: llamaindex/multimodal_vdr_demo
Learn more from their blog post here https://huggingface.co/blog/vdr-2b-multilingual 📖

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.

I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!

Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!
