FastVLMs by Apple are the talk of the week for edge device VLMs and also for consumer-grade VLMs on the Hub. They have some impressive demos available on the Hub for live captioning and inference tasks. Meanwhile, I’m still exploring one of the coolest edge-device multimodal releases—Liquid AI’s LFM2-VL (450M and 1.6B). I’ve also made a live camera video inference demo, which is capable of running on Colab’s free-tier T4 GPU.
