Model overview

moondream2 is a small vision language model designed by maintainer lucataco to run efficiently on edge devices. It is similar to other compact models like qwen1.5-110b, phi-3-mini-4k-instruct, and meta-llama-3-8b-instruct that aim to provide powerful capabilities while minimizing computational requirements.

Model inputs and outputs

moondream2 takes two inputs - an image and a prompt. The image is provided as a URI, and the prompt is a free-form text description. The model then generates a textual output that describes the contents of the image based on the prompt.

Inputs

  • Image: The input image to be described
  • Prompt: A text description to guide the model's interpretation of the image

Outputs

  • Text: A list of text strings describing the contents of the input image based on the provided prompt

Capabilities

moondream2 can generate detailed, re...
