Learn how to build on-device Visual Language Models (VLM) that can identify objects in images and respond to questions

advanced Published 5 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a VLM model using a pre-trained LLM and fine-tune it on a dataset of images with captions
  2. Run experiments to evaluate the performance of the VLM model on various image recognition tasks
  3. Configure the VLM model to work on-device, optimizing for latency and memory usage
  4. Test the VLM model with different types of images and questions to assess its robustness
  5. Apply the VLM model to real-world applications, such as image search or visual question answering
