Overview of MultiUI, a 7M multimodal instruction-tuning dataset built from a diverse collection of Webpage UIs. The model UIX, trained on MultiUI, generalizes effectively to a broad range of unseen scenarios, including GUI understanding (web and mobile interfaces) and, surprisingly, non-GUI tasks such as document and chart understanding.

Methods: We generated examples by defining representative tasks and prompting text LLMs to create general instructions for various webpages. To enhance diversity, we used strategies like pairing with existing multimodal instructions as in-context examples.

Here is an example of different training tasks in our dataset.

Xiang Yuevor 1 Jahr

We adopted a two-stage training strategy where we first train the LLaVA models on our 95% MultiUI samples and then we further train the model on a mix of general instructions (e.g., LLaVA) and a small portion (5%) of MultiUI samples. The stage training is mostly useful compared with simply merging the two training datasets. Scaling up different task samples generally leads to better performance.

Further ablation studies show that different tasks have mutual benefits to increase the different abilities of models.

Generating multimodal data with the help of text-based LLMs is an interesting research direction. Web and other potential sources with rendered text would be ideal platforms for exploring such methods. This project took a huge effort to finish in academia. We hope that open-sourcing our work could accelerate the advancement of open science in the field of multimodal LLMs and important downstream applications like multimodal GUI agents!

New short course: Building Multimodal Search and RAG", by Weaviate AI Database's Sebastia(N_) Witalec ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿. Contrastive learning is used to train models to map vectors into an embedding space by pulling similar concepts closer together and pushing dissimilar concepts away from each other. This technique is also used to train multimodal embedding models that capture semantic similarity across different modalities like text, images, and audio. These multimodal embeddings can be used to build multimodal search and RAG systems. In this course, you'll learn how contrastive learning works, and how to add multimodality to RAG – so your models can draw on diverse, relevant context to answer questions. For example, a query about a financial report might synthesize information from text snippets, graphs, tables, and slides. You will also learn how visual instruction tuning lets you integrate image understanding into language models, and build a multi-vector recommender system using Weaviate’s open-source vector database.

JARVIS-1: Open-World Multi-task Agents with Memory-Augmented Multimodal Language Models paper page: Achieving human-like planning and control with multimodal observations in an open world is a key milestone for more functional generalist agents. Existing approaches can handle certain long-horizon tasks in an open world. However, they still struggle when the number of open-world tasks could potentially be infinite and lack the capability to progressively enhance task completion as game time progresses. We introduce JARVIS-1, an open-world agent that can perceive multimodal input (visual observations and human instructions), generate sophisticated plans, and perform embodied control, all within the popular yet challenging open-world Minecraft universe. Specifically, we develop JARVIS-1 on top of pre-trained multimodal language models, which map visual observations and textual instructions to plans. The plans will be ultimately dispatched to the goal-conditioned controllers. We outfit JARVIS-1 with a multimodal memory, which facilitates planning using both pre-trained knowledge and its actual game survival experiences. In our experiments, JARVIS-1 exhibits nearly perfect performances across over 200 varying tasks from the Minecraft Universe Benchmark, ranging from entry to intermediate levels. JARVIS-1 has achieved a completion rate of 12.5% in the long-horizon diamond pickaxe task. This represents a significant increase up to 5 times compared to previous records. Furthermore, we show that JARVIS-1 is able to self-improve following a life-long learning paradigm thanks to multimodal memory, sparking a more general intelligence and improved autonomy.

Explore state-of-the-art multimodal prompting in our new short course Large Multimodal Model Prompting with Gemini, taught by Erwin Huizenga in collaboration with Google Cloud. One interesting insight from this course: with multimodal models, prompt structure matters significantly. Placing text inputs, such as a patient's medical history, before image inputs, like an X-ray, can enhance the model's ability to contextualize and interpret visual data effectively. In other contexts, such as image captioning, you may get better results by putting the image first. Multimodal models behave differently than text-only LLMs, and effective prompting for models varies depending on the model you’re using. In this course you’ll learn how to effectively prompt Gemini models. Gemini's multimodal capabilities also enable new approaches in AI application development, for example: - The Gemini library handles various video formats (MP4, MOV, MPEG), streamlining applications using these formats. - Large context window (up to 1 million tokens) enables processing of extensive content, like analyzing multiple 50-minute videos simultaneously. - Function calling feature integrates real-time data (e.g., current exchange rates) into model responses. The course demonstrates building multimodal applications with real-world examples including document analyzers that reason across text and graphs simultaneously, video content extractors that find and timestamp specific information from multiple hours of footage, and automated expense report systems processing receipt images while cross-referencing company policies.

Google presents AudioPaLM: A Large Language Model That Can Speak and Listen paper page: introduce AudioPaLM, a large language model for speech understanding and generation. AudioPaLM fuses text-based and speech-based language models, PaLM-2 [Anil et al., 2023] and AudioLM [Borsos et al., 2022], into a unified multimodal architecture that can process and generate text and speech with applications including speech recognition and speech-to-speech translation. AudioPaLM inherits the capability to preserve paralinguistic information such as speaker identity and intonation from AudioLM and the linguistic knowledge present only in text large language models such as PaLM-2. We demonstrate that initializing AudioPaLM with the weights of a text-only large language model improves speech processing, successfully leveraging the larger quantity of text training data used in pretraining to assist with the speech tasks. The resulting model significantly outperforms existing systems for speech translation tasks and has the ability to perform zero-shot speech-to-text translation for many languages for which input/target language combinations were not seen in training. AudioPaLM also demonstrates features of audio language models, such as transferring a voice across languages based on a short spoken prompt.

“ xAI team is currently working heavily on coding models. Right now, the main focus is training a specialized coding model that will be both fast and smart. I believe we’ll share it with you guys in a few weeks. That’s exciting. Second ,after coding, we all see that the main weakness of Grok 4 is its multimodal capabilities. In fact, it was so bad that Grok was effectively looking at the world while squinting through glass trying to see blurry features and make sense of them. The most immediate improvement we’re stepping on with the next generation pre trained model is huge gains in image understanding, video understanding, and audio. Right now, the model can hear and see the world just like any of you. And with all the tools and other agents it can talk to, we’re going to see a huge unlock for many different application layers once multimodal agents arrive.” — xAI Team

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.

For the first time in human history, we are teaching a Foundation Model to master the diverse tasks of medicinal chemists, biologists, and computational scientists all in one place. In our latest collaboration with Liquid AI, we are moving away from fragmented, specialized tools toward a single, super-intelligent model. What surprised me most? This model isn't just performing at reasonable levels—it has started outperforming specialist models across physics-based tasks, imaging, and longitudinal data. Why this changes everything: -Synergy over Specialization: Fine-tuning on specific tasks has unlocked unexpected capabilities in synergetic areas, opening a new frontier in multimodal AI research. -Zero-Shot Potential: We are building a model that can perform out-of-scope tasks, moving us closer to an "AI deity" for drug discovery. -Quality First: The goal isn't just to bypass regulations to save time; it’s about using these synergies to develop better, more effective drugs. We are no longer just looking at linear regression or simple text; we are looking at the future of how humanity fights disease. #LiquidAI #InsilicoMedicine #GenerativeAI #DrugDiscovery #DeepTech #BiotechInnovation

New short course Multimodal RAG: Chat with Videos, developed with Intel and taught by vasudevlal! In this course, you’ll work with LLaVA (Large Language and Vision Assistant), a Large Vision Language Model (LVLM) that can process both images and text. For example, given an image of a person doing a handstand on a skateboard at the beach, LLaVA doesn't just caption the scene, it’s able to predict possible outcomes, like the person losing balance or falling off. By understanding not just what's in a video frame, but what might happen next, your application can provide more insightful answers to questions about video. You'll build a full multimodal RAG pipeline that can chat about video content: - Use the BridgeTower model to create joint text-image embeddings in a 512-dimensional multimodal semantic space. - Learn video processing techniques to extract keyframes, generate transcripts using Whisper, and create captions. - Use the LanceDB vector database to store and retrieve high-dimensional multimodal embeddings. - Integrate the LLaVA model, combining CLIP's (Contrastive Language Image Pretraining) vision transformer with Llama, for advanced visual-textual reasoning. Your final system will ingest video data, generate embeddings for frames and text, perform similarity searches for relevant content, and use the retrieved multimodal context to inform LVLM-based response generation. The result is a system capable of answering nuanced questions about video content, effectively chatting about the video it has processed. Please sign up here!

We benchmarked leading multimodal foundation models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini, Llama, etc.) on standard computer vision tasks—from segmentation to surface normal estimation—using standard datasets like COCO and ImageNet. These models have made remarkable progress; however, it is unclear exactly where they stand in terms of understanding vision in detail. Especially when it comes to tasks beyond question-answering. How well do they understand an object's segments or geometry? Our analyses yield an assessment that is quantitatively and qualitatively detailed and is compatible with evaluations developed in the field of computer vision over the past decades. Observed trends: 🔹 The foundation models consistently underperform task-specific SOTA models across all tasks. However, they are respectable generalists, which is remarkable as they are presumably trained primarily on image-text-based tasks. 🔹 They perform semantic tasks notably better than geometric ones. 🔹 GPT-4o performs the best among non-reasoning models, getting the top position in 4 out of 6 tasks. 🔹 Reasoning models, e.g., o3, show improvements in geometric tasks. 🔹 The 'image generation' models, e.g., GPT-40 Image Generation, which have been natively trained multimodally, exhibit quirks. E.g., hallucinated objects, misalignment between the input and output, etc. 🔹 While the prompting techniques affect performance, better models exhibit less sensitivity to variations in prompts. We control for the variance introduced by the prompting methods in our experiments. 🌐 Detailed analyses, visualizations: ⌨️ code: 🧵 1/n

Robots might learn better from video than from language! 📼 Most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models learn what to do from text, but still struggle with how things move in the real world. That makes them data-hungry and slow to train. mimic video takes a different route. Instead of grounding robot control in text, it grounds it in video, using large pre-trained video models that already capture physical motion and dynamics. The idea is straightforward: let the video model handle “what will happen next,” and let a smaller control model focus only on turning that visual plan into robot actions. The result is big gains in practice. Robots trained this way need 10× less data, converge twice as fast, and perform better on both simulated benchmarks and real bimanual manipulation tasks. If robots can “imagine” motion using video, control becomes a much simpler problem. Shoutout to Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Oier Mees, Elvis Nava and the rest of the team!

Instead of grounding robot control in text, it grounds it in video, using large pre-trained video models that already capture physical motion and dynamics. The idea is straightforward: let the video model handle “what will happen next,” and let a smaller control model focus only on turning that visual plan into robot actions. The result is big gains in practice. Robots trained this way need 10× less data, converge twice as fast, and perform better on both simulated benchmarks and real bimanual manipulation tasks. If robots can “imagine” motion using video, control becomes a much simpler problem. Shoutout to Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Oier Mees, Elvis Nava and the rest of the team!

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.

⚡️We are excited to announce that our new no-code Enterprise Platform is NOW available in private beta! As RAG apps advance from prototype to production we’ve been overwhelmed by requests for an enterprise grade solution to provide these applications with the data they need. Designed to make it easy to get your data #RAGready, our Platform can preprocess more than 25 file types and soon will be fully #multimodal, also able to ingest audio, video and image files. We ship with a baseline suite of source connectors, including Amazon Web Services S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, OneDrive, SFTP, Databricks Delta Table, Google Drive, Salesforce, Elastic, OpenSearch, and Google Cloud storage with many more fast following. Platform transforms your documents into a standardized JSON schema, broken down into semantically coherent elements allowing you to reconstruct your document in the manner most useful to you. Want only the narrative text but not the headers and footers? This is entirely configurable through the UI. Additionally, we generate more than 30 types of metadata for each element to make it easy to curate the data being written downstream and to support metadata filtering during retrieval. Smart chunking and the ability to choose from a range of embedding models are in from launch, delivering a turnkey solution for chunk and embedding experimentation. As for destination connectors, we've got that covered too, with Amazon Web Services S3, Pinecone, Chroma , Weaviate AI Database, Google Cloud storage, MongoDB, Microsoft Azure cognitive search, PostgreSQL, Elastic, OpenSearch, and Databricks Delta Table. And of course, all of this can be scheduled to keep your data continuously hydrated. The private-beta is live today!

Voicebox: Text-Guided Multilingual Universal Speech Generation at Scale blog: Large-scale generative models such as GPT and DALL-E have revolutionized natural language processing and computer vision research. These models not only generate high fidelity text or image outputs, but are also generalists which can solve tasks not explicitly taught. In contrast, speech generative models are still primitive in terms of scale and task generalization. In this paper, we present Voicebox, the most versatile text-guided generative model for speech at scale. Voicebox is a non-autoregressive flow-matching model trained to infill speech, given audio context and text, trained on over 50K hours of speech that are neither filtered nor enhanced. Similar to GPT, Voicebox can perform many different tasks through in-context learning, but is more flexible as it can also condition on future context. Voicebox can be used for mono or cross-lingual zero-shot text-to-speech synthesis, noise removal, content editing, style conversion, and diverse sample generation. In particular, Voicebox outperforms the state-of-the-art zero-shot TTS model VALL-E on both intelligibility (5.9% vs 1.9% word error rates) and audio similarity (0.580 vs 0.681) while being up to 20 times faster.

FRIEDBERG: VIDEO DATA WILL POWER THE NEXT GENERATION OF AI Friedberg broke down the scale shift coming to artificial intelligence, arguing that text based models like GPT are just the beginning, and that the real revolution will come from video-trained systems: “The internet and all these LLMs are language models trained on text from the internet, around 50 billion words total, maybe one to five terabytes of data in their training sets. But if you look at the video data out there, there are hundreds of billions of hours, much of it on YouTube. By some estimates, there’s a thousand exabytes of video data on the internet, about a billion times more than text data. I think we just saw that play out with the new video model that launched yesterday. Google has all this YouTube data, whether or not they’re using it to train, I don’t know. I’ve heard from insiders they’re not allowed to yet and would have to redo the terms of service.” Source: AIFinInsights david friedberg

Google I/O. Some thoughts: the model seems to be multimodal in, but not multimodal out. Imagen-3 and music gen models are still detached from Gemini as standalone components. Merging all modality I/O natively is the inevitable future: - enables tasks like "use a more robotic voice", "speak 2x faster", "edit this image iteratively", and "generate consistent comic strips". - does not lose information across modal boundaries, e.g. emotion and background sound. - opens up new in-context capabilities. You can teach the model to combine different senses in novel ways with few-shot examples. GPT-4o doesn't do it perfectly, but it gets the form factor correct. In words of Andrej's LLM-as-OS analogy: we need the model to natively support as many file extensions as possible. One thing Google is doing right: they are finally making serious efforts to integrate AI into the search box. I sense the agent flow: planning, real-time browsing, and multimodal input, all from the landing page. Google's strongest moat is distribution. Gemini doesn't have to be the best model to be the most used one in the world.
