MobileVLM V2 is a family of significantly improved vision language models upon MobileVLM, which proves that a delicate orchestration of novel architectural design, an improved training scheme tailored for mobile VLMs, and rich high-quality dataset curation can substantially benefit VLMs’ performance. Specifically, MobileVLM V2 1.7B achieves better or on-par performance on standard VLM benchmarks compared with much larger VLMs at the 3B scale. Notably, MobileVLM_V2-3B model outperforms a large variety of VLMs at the 7B+ scale.
The MobileVLM_V2-7B was built on
Vicuna-7B-v1.5 to facilitate the off-the-shelf deployment.
Inference examples can be found at
