Apollo is a new family of open-source video language models by Meta, where 3B model outperforms most 7B models and 7B outperforms most 30B models π§Ά
β¨ the models come in 1.5B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-1_5B-t32, 3B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B-t32 and 7B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-7B-t32 with A2.0 license, based on Qwen1.5 & Qwen2
β¨ the authors also release a benchmark dataset https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/ApolloBench
The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work β―οΈ
Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B
they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more!
> The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled π scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models
> They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal
> They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2
they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful π₯
> they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield
They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models π₯

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM π€
vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;
- ColSmolVLM performs better than ColPali and DSE-Qwen2 on all English tasks
- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 π

It's been a while we shipped native quantization support in
We currently support
This post is just a reminder of what's possible:
1. Loading a model with a quantization config
2. Saving a model with quantization config
3. Loading a pre-quantized model
4.
5. Training and loading LoRAs into quantized checkpoints

RWKV-6-world-v3 (+3.1T tokens) is our best multilingual 7B model as of now:
BlinkDL/rwkv-6-world
It's 100% RNN and attention-free. MMLU 54.2% (previous world-v2.1 = 47.9%. note: without eval-boosting tricks such as annealing).
RWKV-7-world-v4 soon :)

A while ago I started experimenting with compiling the Python interpreter to WASM.
To build a secure, fast, and lightweight sandbox for code execution β ideal for running LLM-generated Python code.
- Send code simply as a POST request
- 1-2ms startup times
