A family of frontier-class multimodal large language models (LLMs) that achieve state-of-the-art results on vision-language tasks, rivaling the leading proprietary models (e.g., GPT-4o) and open-access models (e.g., Llama 3-V 405B and InternVL 2).
This is a big deal for the open source LLM ecosystem:
Nvidia’s release of NVLM 1.0 marks a pivotal moment in AI development. By open-sourcing a model that rivals proprietary giants, Nvidia isn’t just sharing code—it’s challenging the very structure of the AI industry.
