introducing: VLM vibe eval 🪭 visionLMsftw/VLMVibeEval

vision LMs are saturated over benchmarks, so we built vibe eval 💬

> compare different models with refreshed in-the-wild examples in different categories 🤠
> submit your favorite model for eval
no numbers -- just vibes!

emerging trend: models that can understand image + text and generate image + text

don't miss out ⤵️
> MMaDA: single 8B diffusion model aligned with CoT (reasoning!) + UniGRPO Gen-Verse/MMaDA
> BAGEL: 7B MoT model based on Qwen2.5, SigLIP-so-400M, Flux VAE ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL
both by ByteDance! 😱

I keep track of all any input → any output models here https://huggingface.co/collections/merve/any-to-any-models-6822042ee8eb7fb5e38f9b62

A real-time object detector much faster and accurate than YOLO with Apache 2.0 license just landed to Hugging Face transformers 🔥

D-FINE is the sota real-time object detector that runs on T4 (free Colab) 🤩

> Collection with all checkpoints and demo ustc-community/d-fine-68109b427cbe6ee36b4e7352

Notebooks:
> Tracking https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_tracking.ipynb
> Inference https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_inference.ipynb
> Fine-tuning https://github.com/qubvel/transformers-notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/DFine_finetune_on_a_custom_dataset.ipynb
h/t @vladislavbro @qubvel-hf @ariG23498 and the authors of the paper 🎩

Regular object detectors attempt to predict bounding boxes in (x, y, w, h) pixel perfect coordinates, which is very rigid and hard to solve 🥲☹️



D-FINE formulates object detection as a distribution for bounding box coordinates, refines them iteratively, and it's more accurate 🤩

Another core idea behind this model is Global Optimal Localization Self-Distillation ⤵️

this model uses final layer's distribution output (sort of like a teacher) to distill to earlier layers to make early layers more performant.
