Salesforce / xgen-mm-phi3-mini-base-r-v1

Model description

We are excited to announce the continuation and rebranding of our BLIP series into XGen-MM , to be better aligned with Salesforce's unified XGen initiative for large foundation models! This rebranding marks a significant step in our ongoing development of cutting-edge multimodal technologies.

XGen-MM is a series of the latest foundational Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) developed by Salesforce AI Research. This series advances upon the successful designs of the BLIP series, incorporating fundamental enhancements that ensure a more robust and superior foundation.
These models have been trained at scale on high-quality image caption datasets and interleaved image-text data. XGen-MM highlights a few features below,

• The pretrained foundation model, xgen-mm-phi3-mini-base-r-v1 , achieves state-of-the-art performance under 5b parameters and demonstrates strong in-context learning capabilities.
• The instruct fine-tuned model, xgen-mm-phi3-mini-instruct-r-v1 , achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source and closed-source VLMs under 5b parameters.
• xgen-mm-phi3-mini-instruct-r-v1 supports flexible high-resolution image encoding with efficient visual token sampling.

The model is for research purposes, more technical details will come with a technical report soon.

How to use

> We require the use of the development version ( "4.41.0.dev0" ) of the transformers library. To get it, as of 05/07/2024, one can use pip uninstall -y transformers && pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.

More comprehensive examples can be found in the notebook , where we provide a zero-shot and a few-shot example, respectively.

Reproducibility:

Our SFT evaluation is based on the VLMEvalKit, in which we fixed some inconsistencies with the official benchmarks (e.g., LLM judge API). During our development, we noticed that the raw resolution of the input image would noticeably affect the model output in some cases.

Bias, Risks, Limitations, and Ethical Considerations

The main data sources are from the internet, including webpages, image stock sites, and curated datasets released by the research community. We have excluded certain data, such as LAION, due to known CSAM concerns. The model may be subject to bias from the original data source, as well as bias from LLMs and commercial APIs. We strongly recommend users assess safety and fairness before applying to downstream applications.
