Molmo 7B-D
Molmo is a family of open vision-language models developed by the Allen Institute for AI. Molmo models are trained on PixMo, a dataset of 1 million, highly-curated image-text pairs. It has state-of-the-art performance among multimodal models with a similar size while being fully open-source. You can find all models in the Molmo family here . Learn more about the Molmo family in our announcement blog post .
Molmo 7B-D is based on Qwen2-7B and uses OpenAI CLIP as vision backbone. It performs comfortably between GPT-4V and GPT-4o on both academic benchmarks and human evaluation. It powers the Molmo demo at molmo.allenai.org .
This checkpoint is a preview of the Molmo release. All artifacts used in creating Molmo (PixMo dataset, training code, evaluations, intermediate checkpoints) will be made available at a later date, furthering our commitment to open-source AI development and reproducibility.

FAQs
Molmo doesn’t work great with transparent images!
We received reports that Molmo models might struggle with transparent images. For the time being, we recommend adding a white or dark background to your images before passing them to the model.
