Looking for a small or medium sized VLM? PaliGemma 2 spans more than 150x of compute!

Not sure yet if you want to invest the time 🪄finetuning🪄 on your data? Give it a try with our ready-to-use "mix" checkpoints:

In addition to the pre-trained checkpoints, we also release two checkpoints fine-tuned on the DOCCI dataset, which generate fine-grained captions with a great quality/compute trade-off – and no yapping!

After 🪄finetuning🪄 on your data, you can expect to see great results, like the sota we got on recognizing table structures, music scores, molecular structures, and text, and on radiography report generation.

As the original PaliGemma, the pre-trained PaliGemma 2 models have segmentation and detection capabilities, and excel at OCR – which makes them extremely versatile for 🪄finetuning🪄. The original demo hf.co/spaces/big-v... gives you an idea of the capabilities.

Adding this new "model size" dimension unlocks substantial improvements for some tasks (blue, e.g. AI2D), and compounds with improvements from increased resolution for most tasks (green, e.g. InfoVQA).
