Available open-source under an Apache 2.0 license, with the weights available on Hugging Face. \n\nNorth Micro Vision allows developers to build advanced image and document understanding applications that can run locally, including:\n\n- Native-resolution visual processing.\n- Multi-turn image and text conversations.\n- Spatial reasoning and visual grounding.\n- Multilingual image understanding.\n- Multi-image reasoning and comparison.\n\nThe model punches above its weight, outperforming Gemma 4 E2B and Ministral 3 3B across a broad range of visual understanding benchmarks and delivers particularly strong results on document understanding and visual Q&A.\nNorth Micro Vision is ideal for building use cases involving structured data extraction, image captioning, and more. Let us know what you get up to.\n\nDownload here: https://lnkd.in/gwrq29mr",
