# pretrain_dsg_OLA-VLM-CLIP-ViT-Phi3-4k-mini Model Card

>Note: This is the pretrained model used for [OLA-VLM-CLIP-ViT-Phi3-4k-mini](https://huggingface.co/shi-labs/OLA-VLM-CLIP-ViT-Phi3-4k-mini).

OLA-VLM distills target visual information into the intermediate representations of the LLM  from a set of target encoders. It adopts a predictive embedding optimization approach at selected LLM layers during training to minimize the embedding losses along with the next token prediction (NTP) objective,  resulting in a vision-centric approach to training the Multimodal Large Language Model.
