With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the integration of visual and language capabilities has led to groundbreaking advancements in visual language models (VLMs). These models aim to simultaneously process and understand both visual and textual data, being widely applied in scenarios such as image captioning, visual question answering, optical character recognition, and multimodal content analysis. VLMs play a significant role in developing autonomous systems, enhancing human-computer interaction, and creating efficient document processing tools, successfully bridging the gap between these two data modalities. However, there are challenges in handling high-resolution visual data and diverse textual input.
