đ Apollo: An Exploration of Video Understanding in Large Multimodal Models
Apollo is a family of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) that advance the state - of - the - art in video understanding. It supports various tasks such as long - form video comprehension, temporal reasoning, complex video question - answering, and multi - turn conversations based on video content.
Apollo models are highly effective at handling hour - long videos. Through strategic design, they strike a balance between speed and accuracy. With only 3B parameters, our models outperform most 7B competitors and can even rival 30B - scale models.
⨠Features
- Scaling Consistency: Design decisions validated on smaller models and datasets can be effectively applied to larger scales, reducing computation and experimentation costs.
- Efficient Video Sampling: fps sampling and advanced token resampling strategies (e.g., Perceiver) enhance temporal perception.
- Encoder Synergies: Combining SigLIP - SO400M (image) with InternVideo2 (video) provides a robust representation, outperforming single encoders in temporal tasks.
- ApolloBench: A streamlined evaluation benchmark (41x faster) that focuses on true video understanding capabilities.
