Google releases PaliGemma vision models for fine-tuning

Google has released the PaliGemma model family, which are open-source vision-language models designed for fine-tuning rather than general chatbot use. These models combine Google's SigLIP vision encoder with Gemma language decoders, available in various sizes including up to 27 billion parameters. PaliGemma is optimized for single-turn tasks and is intended to be adapted for specific applications like visual question answering or optical character recognition through fine-tuning, with integration available via the Hugging Face Transformers library.
