Smolvlm
Overview :
SmolVLM is a compact yet powerful visual language model (VLM) with 2 billion parameters, leading in efficiency and memory usage among similar models. It is fully open-source, with all model checkpoints, VLM datasets, training recipes, and tools released under the Apache 2.0 license. The model is designed for local deployment in browsers or edge devices, reducing inference costs and allowing for user customization.
Target Users :
The target audience includes developers and enterprises that need to deploy visual language models on local or edge devices, particularly those sensitive to model size and inference costs. SmolVLM's compact, efficient, and open-source nature makes it well-suited for resource-constrained environments, such as mobile devices or small servers.
Use Cases
Provide travel recommendations for the Grand Palace in Bangkok using SmolVLM.
Identify areas affected by severe drought based on charts.
Extract due dates and invoice dates from invoices.
Features
Supports multi-modal AI for use in smaller local settings.
Completely open-source, allowing for commercial use and custom deployment.
Low memory footprint, suitable for operation on resource-constrained devices.
