## Overview

The [ModernVBERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.01149) suite is a suite of compact 250M-parameter vision-language encoders, achieving state-of-the-art performance in this size class, matching the performance of models up to 10x larger.

For more information about ModernVBERT, please check the [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.01149) preprint.

### Models
- `ColModernVBERT` is the late-interaction version that is fine-tuned for visual document retrieval tasks, our most performant model on this task.
- `BiModernVBERT` is the bi-encoder version that is fine-tuned for visual document retrieval tasks.
- `ModernVBERT-embed` is the bi-encoder version after modality alignment (using a MLM objective) and contrastive learning, without document specialization.
- `ModernVBERT` is the base model after modality alignment (using a MLM objective).

## Evaluation

![table](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/661e945eebe3616a1b09e279/NLB0bdE8tAAWXnCK6vjjS.png)

ColModernVBERT matches the performance of models nearly 10x larger on visual document benchmarks. Additionally, it provides an interesting inference speed on CPU compared to the models of similar performance.

## License

We release the ModernVBERT model architectures, model weights, and training codebase under the MIT license.
