Very cool!!! We are excited to announce the continuation and rebranding of our BLIP series into XGen-MM, to be better aligned with Salesforce unified XGen initiative for large foundation models! This rebranding marks a significant step in our ongoing development of cutting-edge multimodal technologies.

This series advances upon the successful designs of the BLIP series, incorporating fundamental enhancements that ensure a more robust and superior foundation. These models have been trained at scale on high-quality image caption datasets and interleaved image-text data. XGen-MM highlights a few features below, The pretrained foundation model, xgen-mm-phi3-mini-base-r-v1, achieves state-of-the-art performance under 5b parameters and demonstrates strong in-context learning capabilities.
