HuggingFace has released IDEFICS, an open-access visual language model available in 9B and 80B parameter sizes. This model aims to replicate the capabilities of DeepMind's Flamingo, processing interleaved images and text for tasks like image description and creative generation. IDEFICS was trained on a new dataset called OBELICS, which consists of filtered web-scale data containing text and images, and it utilizes a Llama v1 model for language and a CLIP model for vision.
