1 Introduction
强调利用广泛视觉-语言数据的综合预训练。常见做法是在指令微调期间合并各种学术数据集。虽然这种方法可能产生良好的基准测试结果，但往往无法提供真实的现实世界使用体验。在模型架构方面，prior作品大多采用视觉Transformer。
原文: emphasis on comprehensive pretraining that leverages a broad spectrum of vision-language data. • A common practice is to amalgamate various academic datasets during instruction tuning. While such an approach may yield good benchmark results, it often falls short in providing an authentic real-world usage experience. • In terms of model architecture, prior works mostly adapt a vision transformer, typically text-aligned, to a pre-trained language model. However, most of these models operate on a relatively low resolution, e.g., 336 × \times 336 or 448 × \times 448. The intricacies of complex rea...

Moreover, we introduce a novel “modality warm-up” strategy. This approach carefully adjusts the ratio of modalities during training, gradually incorporating more vision-language data. The careful tuning of the modality ratio along with the warm-up strategy results in a balanced performance of both modalities.

由SAM-B生成，VL适配器最初将其插值到96×96×256的大小。随后，它采用两个步长为2的卷积层，生成24×24×1024的特征图，并将其重塑为576×1024。与此同时，SigLIP-L生成的576×1024大小的低分辨率特征图与高分辨率特征连接，产生576个视觉token。
原文: generated by SAM-B, the VL Adaptor initially interpolates it into a size of 96 x 96 x 256. Subsequently, it employs two convolutional layers with a stride of 2, producing a feature map of 24 x 24 x 1024, and reshapes it to 576 x 1024. Alongside this, the low-resolution feature map of size 576 x 1024 generated by SigLIP-L is concatenated with the high-resolution features, resulting in 576 visual tokens with 2048 dimensions. These visual tokens possess a substantial capacity for enhancing high-level semantic visual recognition and low-level visual grounding tasks. Then they undergo GeLU activati...

具体来说，DeepSeek-VL-1B模型基于DeekSeek-LLM-1B模型构建，后者使用约5000亿文本token的语料库进行训练。而DeekSeek-VL-7B模型利用使用估计2万亿文本token训练的DeepSeek-LLM-7B模型开发。图3：我们的训练管道由三个阶段组成。阶段1涉及训练视觉-语言适配器。

我们保持视觉编码器冻结并优化语言模型和VL适配器。最初，我们尝试直接用多模态数据训练LLM。然而，我们发现虽然多模态性能指标逐步改善，但语言指标急剧下降，如图4所示（多模态:语言=100%:0%）。这突显了直接训练的内在挑战。
原文: . We keep the vision encoder frozen and optimize the language model and VL adaptor. Initially, we attempt to directly train the LLM with multimodal data. However, we find while the metrics for multimodal performance incrementally improved, there is a stark and severe decline in language metrics as illustrated in Figure 4 (Multimodal:Language=100%:0%),. This underscores the inherent challenge in directly conducting multimodal pretraining on the foundation of an LLM, revealing a critical trade-off between enhancing multimodal abilities and preserving linguistic proficiency. We hypothesize that t...
