Cambrian-S-0.5B is a spatially-grounded multimodal large language model that excels at spatial reasoning in video understanding. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on visual-spatial benchmarks while maintaining competitive performance on general video understanding tasks.
Model Details
- Architecture: Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct + SigLIP2-SO400M vision encoder + 2-layer MLP adapter
- Parameters: 0.5B
- Vision Encoder: SigLIP-384 (SiGLIP)
- Training: 4-stage pipeline (image alignment → image IT → video IT → spatial IT)
- Training Data: Trained on VSI-590K (spatial reasoning) + general video instruction data
Usage
from cambrian.model.builder import load_pretrained_model
from cambrian.mm_utils import process_images, tokenizer_image_token
from cambrian.conversation import conv_templates
model_path = "nyu-visionx/Cambrian-S-0.5B"
tokenizer, model, image_processor, _ = load_pretrained_model(model_path, None, "cambrian-s-0.5b", device_map="cuda")
# Process image/video
conv = conv_templates["qwen_2"].copy()
conv.append_message(conv.roles[0], "<image>\nWhat objects are in this scene?")
conv.append_message(conv.roles[1], None)
prompt = conv.get_prompt()
# Generate
output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, images=image_tensor, image_sizes=image_sizes)Citation
