CogVLM: Visual Expert for Pretrained Language Models

by Tsinghua University / Zhipu AI · free · Last verified 2026-03-17

CogVLM is a vision-language model that enhances pretrained language models (LLMs) with visual understanding. It introduces a trainable visual expert module into each layer of a frozen LLM, enabling deep fusion of image and text features. This approach achieves state-of-the-art results on numerous vision-language benchmarks without altering the original language model's parameters.
