RADIO1D: Elastic Representations for Condensed Vision Modeling
Greg Heinrich, Mike Ranzinger, Collin McCarthy +6
This paper challenges the assumption that vision-language models (VLMs) require fixed patch-based 2D vision features. Analyzing fine-tuned vision encoders, we find that representat…
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni: Efficient and Open Multimodal Intelligence
NVIDIA, :, Amala Sanjay Deshmukh +204
We introduce Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest model in the Nemotron multimodal series and the first to natively support audio inputs alongside text, images, and video. Nemotron 3 N…
C-RADIOv4 (Tech Report)
Mike Ranzinger, Greg Heinrich, Collin McCarthy +4
By leveraging multi-teacher distillation, agglomerative vision backbones provide a unified student model that retains and improves the distinct capabilities of multiple teachers. I…
NVIDIA Nemotron Nano V2 VL
NVIDIA, :, Amala Sanjay Deshmukh +121
We introduce Nemotron Nano V2 VL, the latest model of the Nemotron vision-language series designed for strong real-world document understanding, long video comprehension, and reaso…
Alpamayo-R1: Bridging Reasoning and Action Prediction for Generalizable Autonomous Driving in the Long Tail
NVIDIA, :, Yan Wang +41
End-to-end architectures trained via imitation learning have advanced autonomous driving by scaling model size and data, yet performance remains brittle in safety-critical long-tai…
Nemotron-H: A Family of Accurate and Efficient Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Models
NVIDIA, :, Aaron Blakeman +198
As inference-time scaling becomes critical for enhanced reasoning capabilities, it is increasingly becoming important to build models that are efficient to infer. We introduce Nemo…
FeatSharp: Your Vision Model Features, Sharper
Mike Ranzinger, Greg Heinrich, Pavlo Molchanov +3
The feature maps of vision encoders are fundamental to myriad modern AI tasks, ranging from core perception algorithms (e.g. semantic segmentation, object detection, depth percepti…
RADIOv2.5: Improved Baselines for Agglomerative Vision Foundation Models
Greg Heinrich, Mike Ranzinger, Hongxu +6
Agglomerative models have recently emerged as a powerful approach to training vision foundation models, leveraging multi-teacher distillation from existing models such as CLIP, DIN…
PHI-S: Distribution Balancing for Label-Free Multi-Teacher Distillation
Mike Ranzinger, Jon Barker, Greg Heinrich +3
Various visual foundation models have distinct strengths and weaknesses, both of which can be improved through heterogeneous multi-teacher knowledge distillation without labels, te…
AM-RADIO: Agglomerative Vision Foundation Model -- Reduce All Domains Into One
Mike Ranzinger, Greg Heinrich, Jan Kautz +1
A handful of visual foundation models (VFMs) have recently emerged as the backbones for numerous downstream tasks. VFMs like CLIP, DINOv2, SAM are trained with distinct objectives,…
ViR: Towards Efficient Vision Retention Backbones
Ali Hatamizadeh, Michael Ranzinger, Shiyi Lan +3
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have attracted a lot of popularity in recent years, due to their exceptional capabilities in modeling long-range spatial dependencies and scalability for…
