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 🧶

✨ 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
✨ 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 ⏯️

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 📈 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 🔥
> 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 🔥

A complete RAG pipeline includes a reranker, which ranks the documents to find the best document 📓
Same goes for multimodal RAG, multimodal rerankers which we can integrate to multimodal RAG pipelines!
Learn how to build a complete multimodal RAG pipeline with vidore/colqwen2-v1.0 as retriever, lightonai/MonoQwen2-VL-v0.1 as reranker, Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct as VLM in this notebook that runs on a GPU as small as L4 🔥 https://huggingface.co/learn/cookbook/multimodal_rag_using_document_retrieval_and_reranker_and_vlms

Microsoft released LLM2CLIP: a CLIP model with longer context window for complex text inputs 🤯
All models with Apache 2.0 license here microsoft/llm2clip-672323a266173cfa40b32d4c

TLDR; they replaced CLIP's text encoder with various LLMs fine-tuned on captioning, better top-k accuracy on retrieval.
This will enable better image-text retrieval, better zero-shot image classification, better vision language models 🔥

Microsoft released a groundbreaking model that can be used for web automation, with MIT license 🔥 microsoft/OmniParser

Interesting highlight for me was Mind2Web (a benchmark for web navigation) capabilities of the model, which unlocks agentic behavior for RPA agents.

no need for hefty web automation pipelines that get broken when the website/app design changes! Amazing work.

Lastly, the authors also fine-tune this model on open-set detection for interactable regions and see if they can use it as a plug-in for VLMs and it actually outperforms off-the-shelf open-set detectors like GroundingDINO. 👏

OmniParser is a state-of-the-art UI parsing/understanding model that outperforms GPT4V in parsing.
