In Prompt Engineering for Vision Models, taught by Abby Jacques Verre and Caleb Kaiser of Comet , you’ll learn how to prompt and fine-tune vision models for personalized image generation, image editing, object detection and segmentation. The prompts you'll use for vision models could be text, point coordinates, or bounding boxes, depending on the model. You'll also learn to tune hyperparameters to shape the output. Models you'll use include Segment-Anything Model (SAM), OWL-ViT, and Stable Diffusion. You'll also learn to fine-tune Stable Diffusion to generate personalized images (say, an image of a specific person), using a handful of images for training. As an example of a multi-step workflow, you'll use OWL-ViT to detect an object based on a text prompt, then pass the bounding box to SAM to create a segmentation mask, and input that mask into Stable Diffusion to replace the original object with a new one based on a text prompt. Controlling vision models can be tricky; this course will teach prompting and fine-tuning techniques to get precise control over their output. Get started here:

AI + robotics research is starting to pick up steam. We can now instruct Spot using natural language using Language-guided Skill Coordination (LSC). A user provides a natural language instruction: "Bring me the chocolates box, cereal box, and pill bottle, and put them on the bedroom table" and the robot navigates to the location of the target objects and places them on the room table. Current versions of Spot rely on a fixed-set vocabulary that cannot generalize to diverse instructions. In this demo, the researchers presented a method that uses large language models to receive a free-form natural language instruction for object rearrangement, which it then executes. It combines: -A voice-to-text model that processes the instructions into text -An LLM that converts natural language instruction to call a library of skills -A perception module that provides ground truth locations and visual object detection And what your left with is a glimpse into what our future will hold: robots executing tasks from human voice prompts.

🤯 Building computer-vision applications is never going to be the same again. As Andrej Karpathy says, "English is going to be the new programming-language", and we just made that happen for programming visual AI. 👨‍💻 This past month, the VLM Run team cooked up something magical that I'm especially proud of - a natural-language interface to build and run computer vision workflows (object-detection, OCR, parsing, and so much more) – all via our new VLM Run MCP server. 🔌 It works with any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, etc.) and abstracts complex visual workflows into simple English commands. No need to write Python or fiddle with bespoke computer-vision code – just say what you want your agent to do, and it does it. Here’s a glimpse into what you can build today ( ☑️ Image AI agents – run detection, tagging, blurring, cropping, and more traditional CV tasks with English ☑️ Document AI agents – extract totals from invoices, search visual content, or act on what’s found ☑️ Video AI agents – understand scene content, trim clips, add subtitles, and create ready-to-share edits ☑️ And best-of-all, it's fully programmable with English. 🧑‍🍳 MCP Showcase: 📚 MCP Cookbooks: 📚 MCP Docs: #computervision #ai #agents #llm #vlm #mcp #vibecoding #genai

LLaVA-3D A Simple yet Effective Pathway to Empowering LMMs with 3D-awareness Recent advancements in Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have greatly enhanced their proficiency in 2D visual understanding tasks, enabling them to effectively process and understand images and videos. However, the development of LMMs with 3D-awareness for 3D scene understanding has been hindered by the lack of large-scale 3D vision-language datasets and powerful 3D encoders. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective framework called LLaVA-3D. Leveraging the strong 2D understanding priors from LLaVA, our LLaVA-3D efficiently adapts LLaVA for 3D scene understanding without compromising 2D understanding capabilities. To achieve this, we employ a simple yet effective representation, 3D Patch, which connects 2D CLIP patch features with their corresponding positions in 3D space. By integrating the 3D Patches into 2D LMMs and employing joint 2D and 3D vision-language instruction tuning, we establish a unified architecture for both 2D image understanding and 3D scene understanding. Experimental results show that LLaVA-3D converges 3.5x faster than existing 3D LMMs when trained on 3D vision-language datasets. Moreover, LLaVA-3D not only achieves state-of-the-art performance across various 3D tasks but also maintains comparable 2D image understanding and vision-language conversation capabilities with LLaVA.

VITA Towards Open-Source Interactive Omni Multimodal LLM discuss: The remarkable multimodal capabilities and interactive experience of GPT-4o underscore their necessity in practical applications, yet open-source models rarely excel in both areas. In this paper, we introduce VITA, the first-ever open-source Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) adept at simultaneous processing and analysis of Video, Image, Text, and Audio modalities, and meanwhile has an advanced multimodal interactive experience. Starting from Mixtral 8x7B as a language foundation, we expand its Chinese vocabulary followed by bilingual instruction tuning. We further endow the language model with visual and audio capabilities through two-stage multi-task learning of multimodal alignment and instruction tuning. VITA demonstrates robust foundational capabilities of multilingual, vision, and audio understanding, as evidenced by its strong performance across a range of both unimodal and multimodal benchmarks. Beyond foundational capabilities, we have made considerable progress in enhancing the natural multimodal human-computer interaction experience. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to exploit non-awakening interaction and audio interrupt in MLLM. VITA is the first step for the open-source community to explore the seamless integration of multimodal understanding and interaction. While there is still lots of work to be done on VITA to get close to close-source counterparts, we hope that its role as a pioneer can serve as a cornerstone for subsequent research.

QVAC SDK 0.14.0 is live. This release makes the on-device stack faster on mobile, ships the developer-agent path, and takes local text-to-speech to 31 languages. Main highlights: - OpenCode and OpenClaw. The first official OpenCode plugin, plus a maintained OpenClaw compatibility path, both built on managed mode and qvac serve. Point a coding agent at a local model with far less setup and far fewer surprises. - Brain-computer interface transcription, on the SDK. Take recorded neural signal data and decode it into text, fully on-device, no cloud. Stream it in chunks through a simple API. In 0.14 it runs GPU-accelerated on iOS. - Text to Speech in 31 languages with our Supertonic3 upgrade. VOICE AND SPEECH - Supertonic3 multilingual TTS, 5 languages to 31. - Chatterbox and Supertonic now run on the Android GPU, with lower memory use (especially on iOS), quantized s3gen Chatterbox support, and a fix for Chatterbox occasionally emitting random speech. - Whisper transcription now runs on the iOS GPU. Parakeet runs on the Android GPU, with steadier real-time streaming. VISION AND OCR - VLM multi-tile batching: high-resolution Pan and Scan images are encoded in one pass instead of tile by tile, for faster vision throughput. - OCR on ggml (EasyOCR and DocTR) reaches full speed parity with the onnx path, across Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan. PLATFORM AND RELIABILITY - Dynamic compute backends on Linux: one build picks the right backend at runtime, and opens the door to ROCm and CUDA support without per-backend builds. - Thinking tokens are kept out of the model context, so reasoning no longer fills the KV cache. SDK 0.14.0 is now leaner and faster to start. Let’s build.

VOICE AND SPEECH - Supertonic3 multilingual TTS, 5 languages to 31. - Chatterbox and Supertonic now run on the Android GPU, with lower memory use (especially on iOS), quantized s3gen Chatterbox support, and a fix for Chatterbox occasionally emitting random speech. - Whisper transcription now runs on the iOS GPU. Parakeet runs on the Android GPU, with steadier real-time streaming. VISION AND OCR - VLM multi-tile batching: high-resolution Pan and Scan images are encoded in one pass instead of tile by tile, for faster vision throughput. - OCR on ggml (EasyOCR and DocTR) reaches full speed parity with the onnx path, across Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan. PLATFORM AND RELIABILITY - Dynamic compute backends on Linux: one build picks the right backend at runtime, and opens the door to ROCm and CUDA support without per-backend builds. - Thinking tokens are kept out of the model context, so reasoning no longer fills the KV cache. SDK 0.14.0 is now leaner and faster to start. Let’s build.

PDF parsing is still painful because LLMs reorder text in complex layouts, break tables across pages, and fail on graphs or images. 💡Testing the new open-source OCRFlux model, and here the results are really good for a change. So OCRFlux is a multimodal, LLM based toolkit for converting PDFs and images into clean, readable, plain Markdown text. Because the underlying VLM is only 3B param, it runs even on a 3090 GPU. The model is available on Hugging Face . The engine that powers the OCRFlux, teaches the model to rebuild every page and then stitch fragments across pages into one clean Markdown file. It bundles one vision language model with 3B parameters that was fine-tuned from Qwen 2.5-VL-3B-Instruct for both page parsing and cross-page merging. OCRFlux reads raw page images and, guided by task prompts, outputs Markdown for each page and merges split elements across pages. The evaluation shows Edit Distance Similarity (EDS) 0.967 and cross‑page table Tree Edit Distance 0.950, so the parser is both accurate and layout aware. How it works while parsing each page - Convert into text with a natural reading order, even in the presence of multi-column layouts, figures, and insets - Support for complicated tables and equations - Automatically removes headers and footers Cross-page table/paragraph merging - Cross-page table merging - Cross-page paragraph merging A compact vision‑language models can beat bigger models once cross‑page context is added. 🧵 1/n Read on 👇
