About deepseek-vl2
DeepSeek-VL2 is a mixed-expert (MoE) vision-language model developed based on DeepSeekMoE-27B, employing a sparse-activated MoE architecture to achieve superior performance with only 4.5B active parameters. The model excels in various tasks including visual question answering, optical character recognition, document/table/chart understanding, and visual grounding. Compared to existing open-source dense models and MoE-based models, it demonstrates competitive or state-of-the-art performance using the same or fewer active parameters.
