Upload fVLM-1.7B: Foveated Vision-Language Model (Stage 3 DPO)
78b1e06 verified
"""
Foveated Vision-Language Model.
Architecture: DINOv2 encoder + foveated cross-attention + SmolLM2 LLM.
Each video frame is compressed to ONE visual token via query-guided attention.
The LLM controls WHERE to look by generating the query for the next frame.
Three forward modes:
1. forward_coarse_fine -- Training (two parallel passes)
2. forward_coarse_only -- Fast eval (single static-query pass)
3. forward_autoregressive -- True inference (sequential, KV-cached)
Loss: text cross-entropy only (no reconstruction, no VAE).

----------
frames : Tensor [B, T, 3, 224, 224]
Preprocessed video frames (DINOv2 normalization).

For **images**: replicate the single frame to T=8 to match training
distribution (``frame.unsqueeze(0).repeat(8, 1, 1, 1)``).
The model was trained with ``replicate_image_frames: 8`` in
Stages 2-3, so single-frame image input will produce degraded
results.
input_ids : Tensor [B, S]
Tokenized text (prompt + response).
attention_mask : Tensor [B, S]
1 for real tokens, 0 for padding.
loss_mask : Tensor [B, S], optional
1 for tokens that contribute to loss, 0 to skip.
frame_mask : Tensor [B, T] bool, optional
True for real frames, False for padding (for variable-length batches).
