VLM

A Vision-Language Model (VLM) is a multimodal AI model trained on both images and text, enabling it to answer questions about visual content, describe images, or extract structured data from documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do VLMs connect images and text?

By processing the image through a vision encoder (like a CNN or ViT) and mapping those features to a projection layer that matches the text embedding space of the LLM.

Give an example of a VLM task.

Asking a model to write code for a website based on a uploaded screenshot mockup.
