Machine Learning algorithms are beginning to revolutionize modern agriculture. Enabling farmers to combat pests and diseases in real time, the technology is improving crop production and profits, while reducing waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and pesticide use. Around 6% of the world’s CO2 emissions come from farming. And every year, up to 40% of crops are lost due to pests and disease.

Visual language models have evolved significantly recently. However, the existing technology typically only supports one single image. They cannot reason among multiple images, support in context learning or understand videos. Also, they don’t optimize for inference speed. We developed VILA, a visual language model with a holistic pretraining, instruction tuning, and deployment pipeline that…
