## 😮 Highlights

### 💡 Unified visual representation for image and video
We employ **a set of dynamic visual tokens** to uniformly represent images and videos.
This representation framework empowers the model to efficiently utilize **a limited number of visual tokens** to simultaneously capture **the spatial details necessary for images** and **the comprehensive temporal relationship required for videos**.

### 🔥 Joint training strategy, making LLMs understand both image and video
Chat-UniVi is trained on a mixed dataset containing both images and videos, allowing direct application to tasks involving both mediums without requiring any modifications.

### 🤗 High performance, complementary learning with image and video
Extensive experimental results demonstrate that Chat-UniVi, as a unified model, consistently outperforms even existing methods exclusively designed for either images or videos.
