New open multimodal model in town: Idefics2!

💪 Strong 8B-parameters model: often on par with open 30B counterparts.
🔓Open license: Apache 2.0.
🚀 Strong improvement over Idefics1: +12 points on VQAv2, +30 points on TextVQA while having 10x fewer parameters.
📚 Better data: boosting OCR capabilities with 6TB of documents to transcribe, and improving QA capabilities on charts/figures/diagrams.
🕵️‍♀️ Transparent training data: inspect and build upon all the data (10s of TB of data) we trained on.
🔲 More natural image processing: Incorporating strategies to treat images in their native resolution and native aspect ratio.
📸 High-resolution images: image resolutions up to 980 x 980 and integrating strategies that allow to trade computational efficiency for performance.
😎 2 checkpoints: Releasing both base checkpoint and instruction fine-tuned checkpoint. Chat version to come.
