Run time and cost

This model costs approximately $0.0050 to run on Replicate, or 200 runs per $1, but this varies depending on your inputs. It is also open source and you can run it on your own computer with Docker.

This model runs on Nvidia A100 (80GB) GPU hardware. Predictions typically complete within 4 seconds.

Model description

BLIP3 is a series of foundational Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) developed by Salesforce AI Research. \ These models have been trained at scale on high-quality image caption datasets and interleaved image-text data. BLIP3 highlights a few features below,

  • The pretrained foundation model, blip3-phi3-mini-base-r-v1, achieves state-of-the-art performance under 5b parameters and demonstrates strong in-context learning capabilities.
  • The instruct fine-tuned model, blip3-phi3-mini-instruct-r-v1, achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source and closed-source VLMs under 5b parameters.
  • blip3-phi3-mini-instruct-r-v1 supports flexible high-resolution image encoding with efficient visual token sampling.

More technical details will come with a technical report soon.

Reproducibility:

Our SFT evaluation is based on the VLMEvalKit, in which we fixed some inconsistencies with the official benchmarks (e.g., LLM judge API). During our development, we noticed that the raw resolution of the input image would noticeably affect the model output in some cases.

Bias, Risks, Limitations, and Ethical Considerations

The main data sources are from the internet, including webpages, image stock sites, and curated datasets released by the research community. We have excluded certain data, such as LAION, due to known CSAM concerns. The model may be subject to bias from the original data source, as well as bias from LLMs and commercial APIs. We strongly recommend users assess safety and fairness before applying to downstream applications.
