We introduce Vintern-1B-v3.5, the latest version in the Vintern series, offering significant improvements over v2 across all evaluation benchmarks. This model has been fine-tuned from InternVL2.5-1B, which already good in Vietnamese 🇻🇳 tasks because it used Viet-ShareGPT-4o-Text-VQA data during its fine-tuning process by the InternVL 2.5 [1] team.

To further enhance its performance in Vietnamese while maintaining good capabilities on existing English datasets, Vintern-1B-v3.5 has been fine-tuned using a vast amount of Vietnamese-specific data. This results in a model that is exceptionally powerful in text recognition, OCR, and understanding Vietnam-specific documents.

Highlights 🌟

Top Quality for Vietnamese Texts Vintern-1B-v3.5 is one of the best models in its class (1B parameters) for understanding and processing Vietnamese documents.
Better Extraction and Understanding The model is great at handling invoices, legal texts, handwriting, and tables.
Improved Prompt Understanding It can understand more complex prompts compared to v2, making it easier to work with.
Runs on Affordable Hardware You can run the model on Google Colab with a T4 GPU, making it easy to use without expensive devices.
Easy to Fine-tune The model can be customized for specific tasks with minimal effort.

Quickstart

Here provides a code snippet to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents. To run inference using the model, follow the steps outlined in our Colab inference notebook
