VideoITG-8B

[🌐Homepage] [💻GitHub] [📜Tech Report] [🤗VideoITG-40K]

Introduction

VideoITG-8B is a multimodal video understanding model trained with instructed temporal grounding, equipped with the ability to enhance Video Large Language Models through intelligent frame selection. The model tackles the complexities of real-world video scenarios by aligning frame sampling with user instructions. Please check our paper for more details.

Model Details

  • Model name: VideoITG-8B
  • Architecture: Customized Eagle-8B base model, fine-tuned with Instructed Temporal Grounding
  • Model type: Multimodal Large Language Model with Video Understanding
  • Languages: English (primary), multilingual (partially)
