PaliGemma 2 represents the next step forward in tunable vision-language models, enhancing the already capable Gemma 2 models by integrating visual capabilities and simplifying the process of achieving outstanding performance through fine-tuning. This advanced model enables users to see, interpret, and engage with visual data, thereby unlocking an array of innovative applications. It comes in various sizes (3B, 10B, 28B parameters) and resolutions (224px, 448px, 896px), allowing for adaptable performance across different use cases. PaliGemma 2 excels at producing rich and contextually appropriate captions for images, surpassing basic object recognition by articulating actions, emotions, and the broader narrative associated with the imagery. Our research showcases its superior capabilities in recognizing chemical formulas, interpreting music scores, performing spatial reasoning, and generating reports for chest X-rays, as elaborated in the accompanying technical documentation. Transitioning to PaliGemma 2 is straightforward for current users, ensuring a seamless upgrade experience while expanding their operational potential. The model's versatility and depth make it an invaluable tool for both researchers and practitioners in various fields.
