VPIPE supplementary CoreML models
This repository distributes the supplementary, pre-converted Core ML model packages consumed by the VPIPE runtime β a concurrent pipeline framework for real-time video tasks on Apple silicon, by T-Go LLC. These are third-party models converted to Core ML; they are released here so the VPIPE runtime can fetch a pinned, ready-to-run artifact instead of re-running the conversion.
Licensing note: the bundled models are not all under a single license. Four are Apache-2.0 and two (Silero VAD, BEATs) are MIT. See THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md for the per-model attribution and verbatim license texts.
Distribution format
Each archive is a .tar (tracked with Git LFS) containing a single
top-level *.mlpackage directory β an unflattened Core ML model package
with its Manifest.json, the model.mlmodel spec, and the
weights/weight.bin blob. Unpack before use:
tar xf yolox_l_1024x640_w8.tar # -> yolox_l_1024x640_w8.mlpackage/
The VPIPE runtime loads the unpacked .mlpackage via its model_path
configuration. In the filenames, w8 denotes 8-bit weight quantization
(activations run in FP16 on the Apple Neural Engine); resolutions are
written WxH.

qwen3_5_mlx_4b_vision_vid_512x320_w8
Qwen3.5-4B vision tower (variant=tensor_video_rgb), the vision encoder
that turns a pair of video frames into the embedding sequence consumed by
the Qwen3.5-4B language model.
- Task: video β vision feature embeddings (multimodal LLM front-end).
- Inputs:
image0,image1β the two consecutive video frames that form one temporal patch, each a planar RGB fp16 tensor(1, 3, 320, 512)(1Γ3ΓHΓW, i.e. 512Γ320 WΓH) with raw pixels in0..255. Thex/127.5 - 1normalisation is baked into the graph (applied on the ANE). - Output:
image_featuresβ vision features of shape(160, 2560), fp16. - Precision: 8-bit weight quantization, FP16 compute.
- Upstream: Qwen3.5 (Qwen team, Alibaba Cloud) β Apache-2.0.
- Conversion: coremltools 9.0 from TorchScript (
torch==2.12.0).
qwen3_5_mlx_4b_vision_vid_768x480_w8
The same Qwen3.5-4B vision tower (variant=tensor_video_rgb) at a higher
768Γ480 input β identical I/O contract to the 512Γ320 build, with a longer
output token sequence.
- Task: video β vision feature embeddings (multimodal LLM front-end).
- Inputs:
image0,image1β the two consecutive video frames that form one temporal patch, each a planar RGB fp16 tensor(1, 3, 480, 768)(1Γ3ΓHΓW, i.e. 768Γ480 WΓH) with raw pixels in0..255. Thex/127.5 - 1normalisation is baked into the graph (applied on the ANE). - Output:
