What is Yi-VL-6B?
Yi-VL-6B is a powerful vision-language model that combines advanced image understanding capabilities with sophisticated language processing. Built on the LLaVA architecture, it integrates a CLIP ViT-H/14 vision transformer with the Yi-6B-Chat language model to enable detailed image comprehension and natural conversation in both English and Chinese.
Implementation Details
The model employs a three-component architecture consisting of a Vision Transformer (ViT) for image encoding, a projection module for feature alignment, and a large language model for text processing. Training occurred across three stages, focusing on image-text alignment, high-resolution processing, and multimodal conversation capabilities.
- Supports high-resolution image processing (448x448)
- Trained on 128 NVIDIA A800 GPUs
- Completed training in approximately 3 days
- Utilizes comprehensive datasets including LAION-400M, CLLaVA, and various visual question-answering datasets
Core Capabilities
- Multi-round text-image conversations with single image input
- Bilingual support for English and Chinese
- Advanced image comprehension and information extraction
- Fine-grained visual detail recognition
- Text recognition in images
