PaliGemma: A versatile 3B VLM for transfer

Beyer, Lucas, Steiner, Andreas, Pinto, André Susano et al.

Understand

PaliGemma is an open Vision-Language Model (VLM) that is based on the SigLIP-So400m vision encoder and the Gemma-2B language model.

  • It is trained to be a versatile and broadly knowledgeable base model that is effective to transfer.
  • It achieves strong performance on a wide variety of open-world tasks.
  • We evaluate PaliGemma on almost 40 diverse tasks including standard VLM benchmarks, but also more specialized tasks such as remote-sensing and segmentation.
