We are excited to introduce Ristretto, our newest Vision language model (VLM) that represents a significant step forward in the field. Ristretto features a capability to deploy dynamic image tokens, enables flexible adjustment of image token quantities based on task requirements while enhancing the projector architecture to support dynamic token configurations. This new model delivers improved performance and versatility compared to its predecessors through its refined architecture and advanced training approach.
