Llama-3-V model was plagiarized from MiniCPM
- huac 2y agoLast week, a vision-language model made the rounds on Twitter and Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40505099 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40505099, made front page). However, the model code and weights were copied from another team's work, MiniCPM-V, without attribution. The original authors have removed their repo and HuggingFace model (https://x.com/var_epsilon/status/1797628346156945459 https://x.com/var_epsilon/status/1797628346156945459) and the MiniCPM authors have reproduced very damning evidence (https://x.com/zhanga6/status/1797293189378068768 https://x.com/zhanga6/status/1797293189378068768). Notably, the model was originally trained on held out examples of ancient Chinese script, which their university recently scanned, and the two models perform identically, which should not be possible because of the uniqueness of the data. I consider this watermarking to be pretty clever! There's plenty of paper plagiarism, but this is the first case I've seen of model plagiarism.

- huac 2y agoah nice, did not see this because I searched for `llama-3-v`
- artninja1988 2y agoShould be heavily noted that Llama 3 V is NOT from meta.
