Computer Vision Model Optimization

via “compact vision-language inference with sub-2b parameter models”

Tiny vision-language model for edge devices.

Unique: Achieves sub-2B parameter count through aggressive architectural compression (vision encoder + text decoder fusion) while maintaining VQA and object detection capabilities; specifically optimized for overlap_crop_image() preprocessing to handle high-resolution inputs without memory explosion, enabling efficient processing on devices where larger models (7B+) are infeasible.

vs others: Smaller and faster than CLIP+LLaMA stacks (which require 7B+ parameters) while supporting object detection natively; more capable than pure image classification models but with 10-50x fewer parameters than GPT-4V or Gemini.
