✨Downscaling Intelligence: Exploring Perception and Reasoning Bottlenecks in Small Multimodal Models

📝 Summary:
Downscaling multimodal models disproportionately harms visual capabilities, including perception, more than LLM abilities. This paper introduces visual extraction tuning combined with step-by-step reasoning to improve smaller models efficiency and performance.
