Pixtral Large is a 124-billion-parameter open-weight multimodal model developed by Mistral AI, building upon their Mistral Large 2 architecture. It integrates a 123-billion-parameter multimodal decoder with a 1-billion-parameter vision encoder, enabling advanced understanding of documents, charts, and natural images while maintaining leading text comprehension capabilities. With a context window of 128,000 tokens, Pixtral Large can process at least 30 high-resolution images simultaneously. The model has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks such as MathVista, DocVQA, and VQAv2, surpassing models like GPT-4o and Gemini-1.5 Pro. Pixtral Large is available under the Mistral Research License for research and educational use, and under the Mistral Commercial License for commercial applications.

​Moondream is an open source vision language model designed for efficient image understanding across various devices, including servers, PCs, mobile phones, and edge devices. It offers two primary variants, Moondream 2B, a 1.9-billion-parameter model providing robust performance for general-purpose tasks, and Moondream 0.5B, a compact 500-million-parameter model optimized for resource-constrained hardware. Both models support quantization formats like fp16, int8, and int4, allowing for reduced memory usage without significant performance loss. Moondream's capabilities include generating detailed image captions, answering visual queries, performing object detection, and pinpointing specific items within images. Its design emphasizes versatility and accessibility, enabling deployment across a wide range of platforms. ​
