The Aquila-VL-2B model is a vision-language model (VLM) trained based on the LLava-one-vision framework. The Qwen2.5-1.5B-instruct model is chose as the LLM, while siglip-so400m-patch14-384 is utilized as the vision tower.

The model was trained on our self-built Infinity-MM dataset, which contains approximately 40 million image-text pairs. This dataset is a combination of open-source data collected from the internet and synthetic instruction data generated using open-source VLM models.

We have open-sourced Infinity-MM dataset and related resources. We hope you enjoy using them!

News

2024/11/19: We have released intermediate checkpoints obtained during different stages of training. Please feel free to use these models for analysis and experimentation.
2024/10/25: The Aquila-VL-2B model and Infinity-MM dataset are now available. We have also released the technical report simultaneously.

Evaluation

We evaluated the model using the VLMEvalKit tool. Whenever possible, we prioritized using the OpenAI API for test sets that support API-based evaluation.

Future Plan

We plan to train models of various sizes.
Future training will incorporate multi-image and video data.
