What AI says about Idefics2

idefics2-8b is an open multimodal model from Hugging Face that accepts interleaved image and text inputs and produces text outputs, enabling tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering, and stories grounded in multiple images. It supports OCR, document understanding, and visual reasoning, and can also function as a pure language model without visual inputs, though it does not generate images. The model is available in several variants (idefics2-8b-base, idefics2-8b, and idefics2-8b-chatty) under the Apache 2.0 license and is intended to be fine-tuned for specific use cases.

AI named Idefics2 in December 2025.
