victormustar · x · 2026-09-24
Apple quietly released LensVLM-9B on Hugging Face, a finetune of Qwen3.5-9B that turns long documents into small page images to save tokens, then retrieves the full text of only the pages relevant to a user's question.
The page-image retrieval approach offers a novel token-efficient path for long-document understanding, and the model is open for download.
