Artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face has recently launched an open-source multimodal AI model named IDEFIX. IDEFIX is capable of processing both image and text inputs and generating coherent text outputs. Built on the visual language model Flamingo, IDEFIX was trained using a variety of open datasets including Wikipedia, public multimodal datasets, and LAION. Compared to proprietary models, IDEFIX has demonstrated exceptional performance in various image-text comprehension evaluations. This marks a significant advancement in open-source multimodal AI models.

VLM-R1 Leads a New Era for Visual Language Models as Multimodal AI Achieves New Breakthroughs

Recently, the successful launch of the VLM-R1 project has brought new hope to this field. This project represents the successful migration of the R1 Method from the DeepSeek team into visual language models, indicating that AI's understanding of visual content will enter a whole new phase. The inspiration for VLM-R1 comes from last year's open-source R1 Method by DeepSeek, which leverages GRPO (Generative Reward Processing Optimization) reinforcement.

Microsoft Teams Launches Multimodal AI Model Magma: Integrating Vision, Language, and Action Decision-Making Skills

Recently, the Microsoft Research team, in collaboration with researchers from several universities, released a multimodal AI model called 'Magma'.
