What is Yi-VL-34B?
Yi-VL-34B is the world's first open-source 34B vision language model, designed for advanced image understanding and bilingual conversation. Built by 01-ai, it combines a powerful Vision Transformer with the Yi-34B language model to enable sophisticated image-text interactions.
Implementation Details
The model leverages a three-component architecture: a CLIP ViT-H/14 for image encoding, a projection module for feature alignment, and the Yi-34B-Chat LLM. It supports high-resolution image processing (448×448) and underwent a comprehensive three-stage training process using over 100 million image-text pairs.
- Multi-stage training on diverse datasets including LAION-400M, CLLaVA, and specialized visual datasets
- Trained using 128 NVIDIA A800 GPUs over approximately 10 days
- Implements advanced bilingual capabilities for both English and Chinese
Core Capabilities
- Multi-round text-image conversations with single image input
- High-resolution image understanding at 448×448
- Top performance in MMMU and CMMMU benchmarks
- Strong bilingual support for English and Chinese
- Advanced visual information extraction and summarization
