AllenAI: Molmo 7B D

Molmo is a family of open vision-language models developed by the Allen Institute for AI. Molmo models are trained on PixMo, a dataset of 1 million, highly-curated image-text pairs. It has state-of-the-art performance among multimodal models with a similar size while being fully open-source. You can find all models in the Molmo family [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/allenai/molmo-66f379e6fe3b8ef090a8ca19). Learn more about the Molmo family [in the announcement blog post](https://molmo.allenai.org/blog) or the [paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2409.17146). Molmo 7B-D is based on [Qwen2-7B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2-7B) and uses [OpenAI CLIP](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-large-patch14-336) as vision backbone. It performs comfortably between GPT-4V and GPT-4o on both academic benchmarks and human evaluation. This checkpoint is a preview of the Molmo release. All artifacts used in creating Molmo (PixMo dataset, training code, evaluations, intermediate checkpoints) will be made available at a later date, furthering our commitment to open-source AI development and reproducibility.
