Mirasol3B

Google's Mirasol3B is a multimodal model that decouples modalities into focused autoregressive components rather than forcing a single fused stream.

Decoupled autoregressive modeling: Separates audio/video processing from text processing into focused autoregressive components that communicate through learned cross-modal interfaces.
Handles longer videos: The decoupled design lets the model handle longer video inputs than typical end-to-end multimodal models constrained by sequence length.
Modality-specific processing: Inputs are processed according to their modalities with appropriate tokenization rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all tokenizer.
SoTA on video benchmarks: Outperforms prior methods on video QA, long-video QA, and audio-video-text benchmarks, validating the decoupled approach.
