vLLM's Semantic Router team releases d3-ultra multimodal model

The Semantic Router team at vLLM has introduced d3-ultra, a 27 billion parameter open multimodal decision model. This model is designed to process text, images, or video and output probabilities for various answers, enabling it to handle tasks like routing, classification, and visual grounding without generating text. D3-ultra achieved a score of 87.2 on the SR-Text test, surpassing GLiDE V1.2's score of 85.1. AI

IMPACT This multimodal model could streamline AI agent workflows by integrating routing, classification, and visual grounding into a single decision-making process.
