Encoder-free multimodal LLMs Gemma-4 12B and Inkling-Small learn to process raw inputs without modality-specific encoders
Read the original at arxiv.org→arXiv:2610.24239v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We empirically analyze two recently proposed encoder-free multimodal LLMs, Gemma-4 12B and Inkling-Small. Unlike previous multimodal LLMs, these models do not use...
