SenseTime has open-sourced SenseNova-Vision-7B-MoT, featuring "one model covering major visual tasks." It can be controlled via language or visual prompts without needing task-specific heads. Officially, it outperforms Google DeepMind's Vision Banana on multiple vision benchmarks.
Comparisons provided include:
- RefCOCOg referring expression segmentation: 80.3 vs 73.8
- Cityscapes semantic segmentation: 71.2 vs 69.9
- NYUv2 depth estimation: 98.1 vs 94.8
- NYUv2 normal estimation: 14.4 vs 17.8
The forwarder emphasized that "new tasks are defined by instructions, not new heads," and included the code repository.
