We are excited to announce the open-sourcing of Ovis-1.6, our latest multi-modal large language model. Ovis is a novel Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) architecture, designed to structurally align visual and textual embeddings.

Model

Built upon Ovis1.5, Ovis1.6 further enhances high-resolution image processing, is trained on a larger, more diverse, and higher-quality dataset, and refines the training process with DPO training following instruction-tuning.

Ovis MLLMs	ViT	LLM	Model Weights	Demo
Ovis1.6-Gemma2-27B	Siglip-400M	Gemma2-27B-It	Huggingface	-
Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B	Siglip-400M	Gemma2-9B-It	Huggingface	Space
Ovis1.6-Llama3.2-3B	Siglip-400M	Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct	Huggingface	Space

Performance

With just 10B parameters, Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B leads the OpenCompass benchmark among open-source MLLMs within 30B parameters.

Usage

Below is a code snippet to run Ovis with multimodal inputs. For additional usage instructions, including inference wrapper and Gradio UI, please refer to Ovis GitHub.
