Meta recently released its Llama 3.2 series of vision language models (VLMs), which come in 11B parameter and 90B parameter variants. These models are multimodal, supporting both text and image inputs. In addition, Meta has launched text-only small language model (SLM) variants of Llama 3.2 with 1B and 3B parameters. NVIDIA has optimized the Llama 3.2 collection of models for great performance and…

Vision-language models (VLMs) combine the powerful language understanding of foundational LLMs with the vision capabilities of vision transformers (ViTs) by projecting text and images into the same embedding space. They can take unstructured multimodal data, reason over it, and return the output in a structured format. Building on a broad base of pretraining, they can be easily adapted for…

Seeed Studio has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the SenseCAP Watcher, a physical AI agent capable of monitoring a space and taking actions based on events within that area. Described as the “world’s first Physical LLM Agent for Smarter Spaces,” the SenseCAP Watcher leverages onboard and cloud-based technologies to “bridge the gap between digital intelligence and physical applications.” The SenseCAP Watcher is powered by an ESP32-S3 microcontroller coupled with a Himax WiseEye2 HX6538 chip (Cortex-M55 and Ethos-U55 microNPU) for image and vector data processing. It builds on the Grove Vision AI V2 module and comes in a form factor about one-third the size of an iPhone. Onboard features include a camera, touchscreen, microphone, and speaker, supporting voice command recognition and multimodal sensor expansion. It runs the SenseCraft software suite which integrates on-device tinyML models with powerful large language models, either running on a remote cloud server or a local computer [...]
