BAAI's encoder-free VLM family EVE: NeurIPS spotlight, ICCV highlight, open-sourced

liuziwei7 · x · 2026-11-14

A repost by liuziwei7 highlights BAAI's EVE series — encoder-free vision-language models that remove the ViT/CLIP vision encoder so the LLM processes visual patches directly. EVEv1 was a NeurIPS 2024 spotlight, EVEv2 an ICCV 2025 highlight; code and weights are open-sourced (376 stars, MIT license). The thread also links the NEO and SenseNova-U series from related efforts, celebrating community progress on this direction.
