# Glimpse-v1
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
A lightweight, open vision-language model built to understand and summarize **home security camera events**.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
```
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
ollama run llmvision/glimpse-v1
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
```
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
> Install [Ollama](https://ollama.com), then paste the command above. See the [project site](https://llmvision.org/glimpse/) for documentation.

## Intended use
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
Glimpse-v1 is purpose-built for **summarizing and describing footage from home security cameras** — for example, generating short natural-language descriptions of motion events, deliveries, visitors, pets, or vehicles, locally on consumer hardware.
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
### Designed for
|
| 62 |
+
- Local, privacy-preserving smart-home automations
|
| 63 |
+
- Event summaries for camera notifications
|
| 64 |
+
- Integrations with home-automation platforms (e.g. Home Assistant via the LLM Vision project)
|
| 65 |
+
- Edge devices and machines with limited VRAM/RAM
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
### Not designed for
|
| 68 |
+
- General-purpose visual question answering or document understanding
|
| 69 |
+
- Person identification, biometric recognition, or surveillance of identifiable individuals
|
| 70 |
+
- Safety-critical decisions (medical, legal, security response) without human review
|
| 71 |
+
- Use cases prohibited by the [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy)
|
| 72 |
+
|
| 73 |
+
## Languages
|
| 74 |
+
|
| 75 |
+
English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Swedish. Additional languages are added regularly — quality varies by language and is best in English.
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
## Why a small model?
|
| 78 |
+
|
| 79 |
+
Glimpse-v1 is a **compact 4B-parameter** model deliberately sized to run on hardware with limited memory and compute. The goal is **private, local AI for the home**: your camera footage never has to leave your network, and you avoid recurring API costs.
|
| 80 |
+
|
| 81 |
+
## Performance
|
| 82 |
+
|
| 83 |
+
Glimpse-v1 reports a **1.9× accuracy improvement** over the base Gemma 3 4B model on home-security event summarization. See the [project site](https://llmvision.org/glimpse/) for the latest benchmarks.
|
| 84 |
+
|
| 85 |
+
## Training
|
| 86 |
+
|
| 87 |
+
- **Base:** Gemma 3 4B (instruction-tuned)
|
| 88 |
+
- **Data:** ~5,000 curated real-world home security camera events spanning diverse scenes, lighting conditions, and event types
|
| 89 |
+
- **Objective:** Supervised fine-tuning for concise, factual event descriptions
|
| 90 |
+
|
| 91 |
+
> Files in this repository have been **modified from the original Gemma 3 release** as part of this fine-tune.

|
| 142 |
+
|
| 143 |
+
```
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
## Limitations and risks
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
- **Domain-specific.** Outside of home-security framing, quality drops noticeably.
|
| 148 |
+
- **Hallucination.** Like all VLMs, it can invent details (people, objects, actions) not present in the image. Treat outputs as suggestions, not ground truth.
|
| 149 |
+
- **Bias.** Training data reflects the distribution of available home camera footage and may underperform on under-represented scenes, lighting, or demographics.
|
| 150 |
+
- **Privacy.** Although the model runs locally, **you** are responsible for handling footage of identifiable people in line with local laws (e.g. GDPR).
|
| 151 |
+
- **Not a security system.** Do not use Glimpse-v1 as the sole signal for emergency response.
