đ Eagle Model Card
Eagle is a family of Vision-Centric High-Resolution Multimodal LLMs, which explores strengthening multimodal LLM perception with various vision encoders and input resolutions. It offers strong performance in multimodal benchmarks, especially resolution-sensitive tasks.
đ Quick Start
The quick start guide for using the Eagle model can be found in the inference code example below.
⨠Features
- Multimodal Perception: Eagle presents a thorough exploration to strengthen multimodal LLM perception with a mixture of vision encoders and different input resolutions.
- Channel-Concatenation Fusion: The model contains a channel-concatenation-based "CLIP+X" fusion for vision experts with different architectures (ViT/ConvNets) and knowledge (detection/segmentation/OCR/SSL).
- High-Resolution Support: The resulting family of Eagle models support up to over 1K input resolution and obtain strong results on multimodal LLM benchmarks, especially resolution-sensitive tasks such as optical character recognition and document understanding.
