Highlights

📖 Model Overview

Fleming-VL is a multimodal reasoning model for medical scenarios that can process and analyze various types of medical data including 2D images, 3D volumetric data, and video sequences. The model performs step-by-step analysis of complex multimodal medical problems and produces reliable answers. Building upon the GRPO reasoning paradigm, Fleming-VL extends the capabilities to handle diverse medical imaging modalities while maintaining strong reasoning performance.

Model Features:

Multimodal Processing Supports various medical data types including 2D images (X-rays, pathology slides), 3D volumes (CT/MRI scans), and videos (ultrasound, endoscopy, surgical recordings);
Medical Reasoning Performs step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning to analyze complex medical problems, combining visual information with medical knowledge to provide reliable diagnostic insights.

# Fleming-VL-8B Multi-Modal Inference Script

# This script demonstrates three inference modes:
# 1. Single image inference
# 2. Video inference (frame-by-frame)
# 3. 3D medical image (CT/MRI) inference from .npy files

# Model: UbiquantAI/Fleming-VL-8B
# Based on: InternVL_chat-1.2 template
