Zyphra Release Zamba2-VL: Hybrid Mamba2–Transformer Vision-Language Models That Cut Time-to-First-Token by About an Order of Magnitude

Zyphra has released Zamba2-VL, a family of open vision-language models at 1. 2B, 2. 7B, and 7B parameters. The models use a hybrid Mamba2 state-space and Transformer backbone, shipping under Apache 2. 0.

They stay competitive with comparable Transformer VLMs while cutting time-to-first-token by about an order of magnitude. The post Zyphra Release Zamba2-VL: Hybrid Mamba2–Transformer Vision-Language Models That Cut Time-to-First-Token by About an Order of Magnitude appeared first on MarkTechPost.
