xGen-MM (BLIP-3): A Family of Open Large Multimodal Models
Le Xue, Manli Shu, Anas Awadalla +30
This paper introduces BLIP-3, an open framework for developing Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). The framework comprises meticulously curated datasets, a training recipe, model archi…
xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): You Only Need 32 Tokens to Represent a Video Even in VLMs
Michael S. Ryoo, Honglu Zhou, Shrikant Kendre +9
We present xGen-MM-Vid (BLIP-3-Video): a multimodal language model for videos, particularly designed to efficiently capture temporal information over multiple frames. BLIP-3-Video…
Democratizing AI: Open-source Scalable LLM Training on GPU-based Supercomputers
Siddharth Singh, Prajwal Singhania, Aditya Ranjan +9
Training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with hundreds of billions to trillions of parameters requires tens of thousands of GPUs, and a highly scalable software stack.…
Exploiting Sparsity for Long Context Inference: Million Token Contexts on Commodity GPUs
Ryan Synk, Monte Hoover, John Kirchenbauer +6
There is growing demand for performing inference with hundreds of thousands of input tokens on trained transformer models. Inference at this extreme scale demands significant compu…
MINT-1T: Scaling Open-Source Multimodal Data by 10x: A Multimodal Dataset with One Trillion Tokens
Anas Awadalla, Le Xue, Oscar Lo +11
Multimodal interleaved datasets featuring free-form interleaved sequences of images and text are crucial for training frontier large multimodal models (LMMs). Despite the rapid pro…
Shadowcast: Stealthy Data Poisoning Attacks Against Vision-Language Models
Yuancheng Xu, Jiarui Yao, Manli Shu +5
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel in generating textual responses from visual inputs, but their versatility raises security concerns. This study takes the first step in exposing…
