OpenFlamingo: An Open-Source Framework for Training Large Autoregressive Vision-Language Models

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2023-08-08 v2 Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning

Abstract

We introduce OpenFlamingo, a family of autoregressive vision-language models ranging from 3B to 9B parameters. OpenFlamingo is an ongoing effort to produce an open-source replication of DeepMind's Flamingo models. On seven vision-language datasets, OpenFlamingo models average between 80 - 89% of corresponding Flamingo performance. This technical report describes our models, training data, hyperparameters, and evaluation suite. We share our models and code at https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_flamingo.
