Adept has released 8B multi-modality AI agents that focus on tool use. This release includes improved OCR, recognition of texts and images, and fast response times for large images. Adept's philosophy differs from open AI as they prioritize tool development and use. The company aims to productize their agents for real-world applications, supporting arbitrary image resolutions and answering questions about grasp. Although the model is relatively small at 8 billion, its capabilities are impressive.
