Chameleon

Meta recently released a multimodal model called Chameleon, which sets a new benchmark in the development of multimodal models. Chameleon is a family of early-fusion token-based mixed-modal models that can understand and generate images and text in any order. It uses a unified Transformer architecture to complete training using mixed modalities of text, images, and code, and tokenizes images to generate interleaved text and image sequences. The innovation of the Chameleon model lies in its early fusion method, where all processing pipelines are synchronized from the beginning...
