Hugging FaceOpen WeightsPending Human Review

Idefics2 is a Hugging Face open-weight multimodal language-model release. Idefics2 improves visual reasoning and document understanding in a smaller eight-billion-parameter model. It combines a SigLIP visual encoder, a Mistral language decoder, and a connector that efficiently handles images at their native aspect ratios. Interleaved images and text support visual question answering, image comparison, and document extraction. Public base, instruction, and conversational checkpoints share this named generation. Perceptual interpretation and extracted text can be wrong, and performance depends on image resolution and task framing.
