# SPHINX-V Model Card

## Model type:
**SPHINX-V** is a new multimodal large language model designed for visual prompting, equipped with a novel visual prompt encoder and a two-stage training strategy. SPHINX-V supports multiple visual prompts simultaneously across various types, significantly enhancing user flexibility and achieve a fine-grained and open-world understanding of visual prompts.
