Advancements in Multimodal AI: Analyzing LAMA 3.2 Vision and MOLMO Models

Sorry this one was late! Thanks for bearing with me, and keep sending feedback my way. Still a year or two away from when I have time to record these, but I would love to.

Open-source tools, examples, limits, and the state of training multimodal models.
