Llama 3.2 Vision 11B Instruct receives text and images and expresses its result as text. Its foundation is the Llama 3.1 language model; a separately trained visual adapter passes image representations to it through cross-attention. The Instruct version is tuned for following instructions and conversation.
The model has approximately 10.6 billion parameters, commonly designated as 11B. Context is 128 thousand tokens. Pretraining covers image-text pairs; knowledge in the training data is limited to December 2023.
The model recognizes visible objects, reasons about a scene and answers questions about an image. For documents, it considers not just the text read but also the arrangement of elements. Provided tasks include:
From a chart, the model can help identify which month had the highest sales; from a map, it can answer a question about a route. In these tasks, the question concerns a specific visual detail. Extracted information becomes a text answer, not a separate image.
English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish and Thai are listed for text tasks. English is officially supported for combining an image with text. Broader language training does not mean that visual tasks are equally supported in every language.
The model creates answers, not images. Visual capability requires a method with an appropriate input format; the Vision name alone does not determine which data is accepted.
