A Small Vision Model Claims to Beat Rivals Seven Times Its Size on Spatial Perception
LingBot-Vision is pretrained to be spatial-perception native and released under Apache, targeting the perception layer of embodied AI.
Researchers released LingBot-Vision, a vision transformer pretrained to be spatial-perception native, with the paper on arXiv and the repository under an Apache license. The claim that draws attention is efficiency. The authors report that…
