Qwen2-VL-7B

Introduction

We're excited to unveil Qwen2-VL, the latest iteration of our Qwen-VL model, representing nearly a year of innovation.

This is the base pretrained model of Qwen2-VL-7B without instruction tuning.

What’s New in Qwen2-VL?

Key Enhancements:

• SoTA understanding of images of various resolution & ratio: Qwen2-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance on visual understanding benchmarks, including MathVista, DocVQA, RealWorldQA, MTVQA, etc.
• Understanding videos of 20min+: Qwen2-VL can understand videos over 20 minutes for high-quality video-based question answering, dialog, content creation, etc.
• Agent that can operate your mobiles, robots, etc.: with the abilities of complex reasoning and decision making, Qwen2-VL can be integrated with devices like mobile phones, robots, etc., for automatic operation based on visual environment and text instructions.
• Multilingual Support: to serve global users, besides English and Chinese, Qwen2-VL now supports the understanding of texts in different languages inside images, including most European languages, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese, etc.

Model Architecture Updates:

• Naive Dynamic Resolution: Unlike before, Qwen2-VL can handle arbitrary image resolutions, mapping them into a dynamic number of visual tokens, offering a more human-like visual processing experience.

• Multimodal Rotary Position Embedding (M-ROPE): Decomposes positional embedding into parts to capture 1D textual, 2D visual, and 3D video positional information, enhancing its multimodal processing capabilities.

We have three models with 2, 7 and 72 billion parameters.

This repo contains the pretrained 7B Qwen2-VL model.
