Introduction

[AIMv2 Paper] [BibTeX]

We introduce the AIMv2 family of vision models pre-trained with a multimodal autoregressive objective. AIMv2 pre-training is simple and straightforward to train and scale effectively. Some AIMv2 highlights include:

1. Outperforms OAI CLIP and SigLIP on the majority of multimodal understanding benchmarks.
2. Outperforms DINOv2 on open-vocabulary object detection and referring expression comprehension.
3. Exhibits strong recognition performance with AIMv2-3B achieving 89.5% on ImageNet using a frozen trunk.

Usage

PyTorch

import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModel

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "apple/aimv2-large-patch14-336-distilled",
)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    "apple/aimv2-large-patch14-336-distilled",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

JAX

import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, FlaxAutoModel

url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(
