Deep Agent released R1-V, a reinforcement learning approach that enhances the generalization ability of vision-language models (VLMs) while being cost-effective.
The R1-V approach employs reinforcement learning techniques to teach VLMs to develop robust visual counting abilities, enhancing their performance in various AI applications.
Despite having only 2 billion parameters, R1-V outperforms a significantly larger model in out-of-distribution (OOD) tests, demonstrating the importance of the training methodology and reinforcement learning strategies.
R1-V's training efficiency and relatively low computational cost of $2.62 make it an attractive choice for researchers and developers seeking high performance without extensive computational resources.
