Smol Vision 🐣
Recipes for shrinking, optimizing, customizing cutting edge vision and multimodal AI models. Original GH repository is here migrated to Hugging Face since notebooks there aren't rendered 🥲
Latest examples 👇🏻
- Fine-tune ColPali for Multimodal RAG
- Fine-tune Gemma-3n for all modalities (audio-text-image)
- Any-to-Any (Video) RAG with OmniEmbed and Qwen
Note: The script and notebook are updated to fix few issues related to QLoRA!
