Hugging Face Blog Releases NeoMME: An Efficient Multimodal-Native and Multilingual Encoder
The Hugging Face blog announces NeoMME, a family of 260M and 800M-parameter multimodal and multilingual bidirectional encoders. NeoMME processes multilingual text and raw image patches in a single bidirectional Transformer encoder, replacing separately pretrained image and text encoders. All model checkpoints and a day-zero Hugging Face Transformers implementation are released under Apache 2.0.
