MobileVLM V2: Faster and Stronger Baseline for Vision Language Model
📌 Take a quick look at our MobileVLM V2 architecture
We introduce MobileVLM V2, a family of significantly improved vision language models upon MobileVLM, which proves that a delicate orchestration of novel architectural design, an improved training scheme tailored for mobile VLMs, and rich high-quality dataset curation can substantially benefit VLMs’ performance. Specifically, MobileVLM V2 1.7B achieves better or on-par performance on standard VLM benchmarks compared with much larger VLMs at the 3B scale. Notably, our 3B model outperforms a large variety of VLMs at the 7B+ scale.
MobileVLM V2’s architecture. Xv and Xq indicate image and language instruction, respectively, and Ya refers to the text response from the language model MobileLLaMA. The diagram in the lower right corner is a detailed description of LDPv2, i.e., the lightweight downsample projector v2.

MobileVLM: A Fast, Strong and Open Vision Language Assistant for Mobile Devices
📌 Take a quick look at our MobileVLM architecture
We present MobileVLM, a competent multimodal vision language model (MMVLM) targeted to run on mobile devices. It is an amalgamation of a myriad of architectural designs and techniques that are mobile-oriented, which comprises a set of language models at the scale of 1.4B and 2.7B parameters, trained from scratch, a multimodal vision model that is pre-trained in the CLIP fashion, cross-modality interaction via an efficient projector. We evaluate MobileVLM on several typical VLM benchmarks. Our models demonstrate on par performance compared with a few much larger models. More importantly, we measure the inference speed on both a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 CPU and an NVIDIA Jeston Orin GPU, and we obtain state-of-the-art performance of 21.5 tokens and 65.3 tokens per second, respectively.
The MobileVLM architecture (right) utilizes MobileLLaMA as its language model, intakes Xv and Xq which are image and language instructions as respective inputs and gives Ya as the output language response. LDP refers to a lightweight downsample projector.

inference_once(args)The training process of MobileVLM V2 is divided into two stages:
- stage I: pre-training
- ❄️ frozen vision encoder + 🔥 learnable LDP V2 projector + 🔥 learnable LLM
- this training process takes around 3~5 hours for MobileVLM V2-1.7B/3B on 8x A100 (80G) with a batch size of 256 and an average of approximately 38G/51G of GPU memory required.
- stage II: multi-task training
- ❄️ frozen vision encoder + 🔥 learnable LDP V2 projector + 🔥 learnable LLM
- this training process takes around 9~12 hours for MobileVLM V2-1.7B/3B on 8x A100 (80G) with a batch size of 128 and an average of approximately 45G/52G of GPU memory required.
- note: if you are interest in MobileVLM V1 training recipe, please refer to our previous README.

The SFT(supervised fine-tuning) process of MobileLLaMA:
- please refer to MobileLLaMA_SFT.md for the env, dataset and training code of our MobileLLaMA SFT.
- this training process takes around 3~5 hours for MobileLLaMA 1.4B/2.7B on 8x A100 (80G)
Note: You may skip MobileLLaMA training processes and directly start with MobileVLM, leveraging our pre-trained MobileLLaMA model from huggingface website (🤗 1.7B, 2.7B). .
MobileVLM now is officially supported by llama.cpp. We are looking for more cooperation with open-source communities on the deployment of mobile devices.

llama.cpp. Step-by-step deployment instructions are provided here.
- LLaVA: the codebase we built upon. Thanks for their wonderful work! 👏
