Microsoft released a groundbreaking model that can be used for web automation, with MIT license 🔥
microsoft/OmniParser
Interesting highlight for me was Mind2Web (a benchmark for web navigation) capabilities of the model, which unlocks agentic behavior for RPA agents.
no need for hefty web automation pipelines that get broken when the website/app design changes! Amazing work.
Lastly, the authors also fine-tune this model on open-set detection for interactable regions and see if they can use it as a plug-in for VLMs and it actually outperforms off-the-shelf open-set detectors like GroundingDINO. 👏
OmniParser is a state-of-the-art UI parsing/understanding model that outperforms GPT4V in parsing.

It's raining depth estimation models ☔️
DepthPro is a zero-shot depth estimation model by Apple, it's fast, sharp and accurate 🔥
Demo: akhaliq/depth-pro
Model: apple/DepthPro
Paper page: Depth Pro: Sharp Monocular Metric Depth in Less Than a Second (2410.02073)
The model consists of two encoders: an encoder for patches and an image encoder 🖼️ The outputs of both are merged to decode to depth maps and get the focal length.
The model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art models in average of various benchmarks 📑

NVIDIA just dropped a gigantic multimodal model called NVLM 72B 🦖
nvidia/NVLM-D-72B
Paper page NVLM: Open Frontier-Class Multimodal LLMs (2409.11402)
The paper contains many ablation studies on various ways to use the LLM backbone 👇🏻
🦩 Flamingo-like cross-attention (NVLM-X)
🌋 Llava-like concatenation of image and text embeddings to a decoder-only model (NVLM-D)
✨ a hybrid architecture (NVLM-H)
Checking evaluations, NVLM-D and NVLM-H are best or second best compared to other models 👏
The released model is NVLM-D based on Qwen-2 Instruct, aligned with InternViT-6B using a huge mixture of different datasets
You can easily use this model by loading it through transformers' AutoModel 😍

I have put together a notebook on Multimodal RAG, where we do not process the documents with hefty pipelines but natively use:
- vidore/colpali for retrieval 📖 it doesn't need indexing with image-text pairs but just images!
- Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct for generation 💬 directly feed images as is to a vision language model with no processing to text!
I used ColPali implementation of the new 🐭 Byaldi library by @bclavie 🤗

If you have documents that do not only have text and you're doing retrieval or RAG (using OCR and LLMs), give it up and give ColPali and vision language models a try 🤗
Why? Documents consist of multiple modalities: layout, table, text, chart, images. Document processing pipelines often consist of multiple models and they're immensely brittle and slow. 🥲
How? ColPali is a ColBERT-like document retrieval model built on PaliGemma, it operates over image patches directly, and indexing takes far less time with more accuracy. You can use it for retrieval, and if you want to do retrieval augmented generation, find the closest document, and do not process it, give it directly to a VLM like Qwen2-VL (as image input) and give your text query. 🤝
This is much faster + you do not lose out on any information + much easier to maintain too! 🥳
