If you've ever trained a VLM, you know this problem: nobody shares their data mixtures. It's a black box, making replicating SOTA work impossible. We wanted to change that.
FineVision unifies 200 sources into 24 million samples. With 17.3 million images and 9.5 billion answer tokens, it's the largest open resource of its kind.
In the paper, we share how we built it: 🔍 finding and cleaning data at scale 🧹 removing excessive duplicates across sources 🤗 decontaminating against 66 public benchmarks
My favorite part is Figure 6 (in the video!). It's our visual diversity analysis. It shows that FineVision isn't just bigger; it's more balanced and conceptually richer than other open datasets. NVIDIA's Eagle 2 paper highlighted just how critical this visual diversity is, and our results confirm it: models trained on FineVision consistently outperform those trained on any other open dataset on 11 benchmarks!
🎉 To celebrate the paper, I’m also releasing a concatenated and shuffled version of the full dataset! 👉HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled
It’s ready to stream, so you can start training your own models right away:
from datasets import load_dataset d = load_dataset("HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled", split="train", streaming=True) print(next(iter(d)))
A big shoutout to the first authors: Luis Wiedmann and Orr Zohar. They are rockstars!
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR is out! 🔥 my take ⤵️ > pretty insane it can parse and re-render charts in HTML > it uses CLIP and SAM features concatenated, so better grounding > very efficient per vision tokens/performance ratio > covers 100 languages
IBM just released small swiss army knife for the document models: granite-docling-258M on Hugging Face 🔥
> not only a document converter but also can do document question answering, understand multiple languages 🤯 > best part: released with Apache 2.0 license 👏 use it with your commercial projects! > it supports transformers, vLLM and MLX from the get-go! 🤗 > built on SigLIP2 & granite-165M
