Introduction

[AIMv2 Paper] [BibTeX]

We introduce the AIMv2 family of vision models pre-trained with a multimodal autoregressive objective. AIMv2 pre-training is simple and straightforward to train and scale effectively. Some AIMv2 highlights include:

1. Outperforms OAI CLIP and SigLIP on the majority of multimodal understanding benchmarks.
2. Outperforms DINOv2 on open-vocabulary object detection and referring expression comprehension.
3. Exhibits strong recognition performance with AIMv2-3B achieving 89.5% on ImageNet using a frozen trunk.
