Model Description

Qianfan-VL is a series of general-purpose multimodal large language models enhanced for enterprise-level multimodal applications. The models offer deep optimization for high-frequency scenarios in industrial deployment while maintaining strong general capabilities.

Model Variants

| Model | Parameters | Context Length | CoT Support | Best For | | ------------------ | ---------- | -------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Qianfan-VL-3B | 3B | 32k | ❌ | Edge deployment, real-time OCR | | Qianfan-VL-8B | 8B | 32k | ✅ | Server-side general scenarios, fine-tuning | | Qianfan-VL-70B | 70B | 32k | ✅ | Complex reasoning, data synthesis |

Architecture

  • Language Model:
  • Qianfan-VL-3B: Based on Qwen2.5-3B
  • Qianfan-VL-8B/70B: Based on Llama 3.1 architecture
  • Enhanced with 3T multilingual corpus
  • Vision Encoder: InternViT-based, supports dynamic patching up to 4K resolution
  • Cross-modal Fusion: MLP adapter for efficient vision-language bridging

Key Capabilities

🔍 OCR & Document Understanding

  • Full-Scenario OCR: Handwriting, formulas, natural scenes, cards/documents
  • Document Intelligence: Layout analysis, table parsing, chart understanding, document Q&A
  • High Precision: Industry-leading performance on OCR benchmarks

🧮 Chain-of-Thought Reasoning (8B & 70B)

  • Complex chart analysis and reasoning
  • Mathematical problem-solving with step-by-step derivation
  • Visual reasoning and logical inference
  • Statistical computation and trend prediction
