About Kosmos 2
Kosmos-2, developed by Microsoft Research, is an advanced multimodal large language model (MLLM) that enhances the capabilities of its predecessor, Kosmos-1. It features a Transformer-based architecture trained on the GrIT dataset of grounded image-text pairs, enabling it to understand and interact with both text and visual data. A key innovation is Kosmos-2's ability to ground language to the visual world, allowing for nuanced interaction with images by linking text to specific visual elements using location tokens.
