Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released February 2025128K context≈ 96,000 words3B params

A compact vision-language model that punches at a reasonable weight for its size, handling both text and image inputs within a generous 128k token context window. The w8a8 quantization keeps memory footprint lean while trading some precision for efficiency — a practical compromise for resource-constrained deployments. It processes visual and textual information together, though its 3B parameter count means it has real capacity limits compared to larger siblings.

Glossary

Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Language ModelAn AI model trained to predict and generate text by learning patterns from large amounts of written data.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.Parameter CountThe total number of adjustable weights in a model; more parameters generally mean more capacity to learn, but also require more computing power.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.Resource-ConstrainedHardware with limited memory, processing power, or battery life, requiring models to be optimized for efficiency.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.Vision-LanguageA model designed to understand and reason about both visual content (images) and natural language text together.Vision-Language ModelAn AI model that understands both images and text, allowing it to answer questions about images or describe what it sees.W8A8 QuantizationA specific quantization method where both weights (w) and activations (a) are stored as 8-bit integers, providing a good balance between memory savings and model quality.W8A8 QuantizationA specific quantization method that reduces both weights and activations to 8-bit integers, enabling faster computation on specialized hardware while maintaining reasonable accuracy.
