Don't sleep on new AI at Meta Vision-Language release! 🔥

facebook/perception-encoder-67f977c9a65ca5895a7f6ba1
facebook/perception-lm-67f9783f171948c383ee7498

Meta dropped swiss army knives for vision with A2.0 license 👏
> image/video encoders for vision language modelling and spatial understanding (object detection etc) 👏
> The vision LM outperforms InternVL3 and Qwen2.5VL 👏
> They also release gigantic video and image datasets

The authors attempt to come up with single versatile vision encoder to align on diverse set of tasks.

They trained Perception Encoder (PE) Core: a new state-of-the-art family of vision encoders that can be aligned for both vision-language and spatial tasks. For zero-shot image tasks, it outperforms latest sota SigLIP2 👏



> Among fine-tuned ones, first one is PE-Spatial. It's a model to detect bounding boxes, segmentation, depth estimation and it outperforms all other models 😮



> Second one is PLM, Perception Language Model, where they combine PE-Core with Qwen2.5 LM 7B. it outperforms all other models (including InternVL3 which was trained with Qwen2.5LM too!)

The authors release the following checkpoints in sizes base, large and giant:

> 3 PE-Core checkpoints (224, 336, 448)
> 2 PE-Lang checkpoints (L, G)
> One PE-Spatial (G, 448)
> 3 PLM (1B, 3B, 8B)
> Datasets



Authors release following datasets 📑
> PE Video: Gigantic video datasete of 1M videos with 120k expert annotations ⏯️
> PLM-Video and PLM-Image: Human and auto-annotated image and video datasets on region-based tasks
> PLM-VideoBench: New video benchmark on MCQA

New foundation model on image and video captioning just dropped by NVIDIA AI 🔥

Describe Anything Model (DAM) is a 3B vision language model to generate detailed captions with localized references 😮

The team released the models, the dataset, a new benchmark and a demo 🤩 nvidia/describe-anything-680825bb8f5e41ff0785834c

Most of the vision LMs focus on image as a whole, lacking localized references in captions, and not taking in visual prompts (points, boxes, drawings around objects)

DAM addresses this on two levels: new vision backbone that takes in focal crops and the image itself, and a large scale dataset 👀

They generate a dataset by extending existing segmentation and referring expression generation datasets like REFCOCO, by passing in the images and classes to VLMs and generating captions.

Lastly, they also release a new benchmark again with self-supervision, they use an LLM to evaluate the detailed captions focusing on localization 👏

Explain like i'm 5 the last take from @thomwolf on X about Dario's essay on DeepSeek:

—› Open-source AI is like a big cookbook that everyone can read and improve. Instead of a few chefs keeping their recipes secret, anyone can cook, test, and invent new things.

If only one company controls AI, everything stops if they have a problem—like when the internet goes down. With open-source, many people can help, making sure it keeps running smoothly.

AI isn’t just a race between two countries; it’s a team effort around the world. By sharing, we move faster and create safer technology for everyone.

smolagents can see 🔥
we just shipped vision support to smolagents 🤗 agentic computers FTW

you can now:
💻 let the agent get images dynamically (e.g. agentic web browser)
📑 pass images at the init of the agent (e.g. chatting with documents, filling forms automatically etc)
with few LoC change! 🤯
you can use transformers models locally (like Qwen2VL) OR plug-in your favorite multimodal inference provider (gpt-4o, antrophic & co) 🤠
