InfiMM, inspired by the Flamingo architecture, sets itself apart with unique training data and diverse large language models (LLMs). This approach allows InfiMM to maintain the core strengths of Flamingo while offering enhanced capabilities. As the premier open-sourced variant in this domain, InfiMM excels in accessibility and adaptability, driven by community collaboration. It's more than an emulation of Flamingo; it's an innovation in visual language processing.
Our model is another attempt to produce the result reported in the paper "Flamingo: A Large-scale Visual Language Model for Multimodal Understanding" by DeepMind. Compared with previous open-sourced attempts (OpenFlamingo and IDEFIC), InfiMM offers a more flexible models, allowing for a wide range of applications. In particular, InfiMM integrates the latest LLM models into VLM domain the reveals the impact of LLMs with different scales and architectures.
Please note that InfiMM is currently in beta stage and we are continuously working on improving it.

abstract = "In this work, we present InfiMM, an advanced Multimodal Large Language Model that adapts to intricate vision-language tasks. InfiMM, inspired by the Flamingo architecture, distinguishes itself through the utilization of large-scale training data, comprehensive training strategies, and diverse large language models. This approach ensures the preservation of Flamingo{'}s foundational strengths while simultaneously introducing augmented capabilities. Empirical evaluations across a variety of benchmarks underscore InfiMM{'}s remarkable capability in multimodal understanding.
