I re-worked the JuptyerLab Space template recently. It's optimized for timm use, but will work great with transformers and other libs. Updated the base image, Python 3.12, Pillow-SIMD before better CPU use with image preprocessing, and made a number of other tweaks. From the Jupyter launcher you can run the terminal and setup a timm environment in moments with setup_timm_dev or setup_timm_scripts helpers. Give it a try, timm/jupyterlab-timm

there's a new multimodal retrieval model in town ๐Ÿค 
LlamaIndex released vdr-2b-multi-v1
> uses 70% less image tokens, yet outperforming other dse-qwen2 based models
> 3x faster inference with less VRAM ๐Ÿ’จ
> shrinkable with matryoshka ๐Ÿช†
> can do cross-lingual retrieval!
Collection: llamaindex/visual-document-retrieval-678151d19d2758f78ce910e1 (with models and datasets)
Demo: llamaindex/multimodal_vdr_demo

New timm 1.0.13 and OpenCLIP 2.30.0 releases to start the year. Both modest but worthwhile updates.

timm added a number of new model weights, supporting loading of:
* PaliGemma2 encoders (ported from google/paligemma-2-release-67500e1e1dbfdd4dee27ba48)
* AIMv-2 encoders (ported from apple/aimv2-6720fe1558d94c7805f7688c)

A few higher resolution 384x384 ConvNeXt-Nano ImageNet-12k pretrain & finetunes. See other changes here: https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/releases/tag/v1.0.13

And support added in both OpenCLIP and timm for two CLIP models that were missed. The DFN L/14 is ๐Ÿ”ฅ
* DFN CLIP L/14 w/ 39B samples seen - apple/DFN2B-CLIP-ViT-L-14-39B, timm/vit_large_patch14_clip_224.dfn2b_s39b
* MetaCLIP H/14 (altogether) - timm/vit_huge_patch14_clip_224.metaclip_altogether

And last, ~70-80 models that were relying on timm remapping from OpenCLIP got their own timm hub instances to allow use with the upcoming Transformers TimmWrapperModel

ByteDance just dropped SA2VA: a new family of vision LMs combining Qwen2VL/InternVL and SAM2 with MIT license ๐Ÿ’— 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 โฏ๏ธ

> 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 ๐Ÿ’ฌ

the output segmentation tokens are passed to SAM2, to sort of match text (captions or semantic classes) to masks โคต๏ธ

> 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.
