More testing of the amazing Moondream open source multimodal LLM today! It is massively small: 1.6B parameter model built using SigLIP, Phi-1.5 and the LLaVA training dataset. I am really impressed. More soon.

Moondream: a 1.6 Billion parameter model that is quite effective and possibly able to go toe to toe with the bigger models in the future.

MoonDream - A tiny vision language model that performs on par w/ models twice its size by @vikhyatk. Its so fast, you might not even catch it streaming output!

  • First small language model I've seen that has proper vision capabilities
