Kimi k1.5: Next-Gen LLM with RL for Multimodal Reasoning | Benchmark Performance

Reinforcement learning (RL) has revolutionized AI at its core by enabling models to learn iteratively through interaction and feedback. When applied to large language models (LLMs), RL unlocks new opportunities for dealing with tasks involving sophisticated reasoning, e.g., math problem-solving, programming, and multimodal data interpretation. Classical approaches are greatly dependent on pretraining with massive static…

LLaVA-o1: Redefining Visual Language Model Reasoning

LLaVA-o1: Transforming How We Think with Visual Language Models (VLMs)

The performance of Visual Language Models (VLMs) has often lagged behind due to a lack of systematic approaches. This limitation becomes especially pronounced in tasks requiring complex reasoning, such as multimodal question answering, scientific diagram interpretation, or logical inference with visual inputs. The introduction of LLaVA-o1 represents a significant leap forward. This innovative model tackles…
