Video understanding foundation model with efficient long-video processing
DAMO-NLP-SG/VideoLLaMA3-7Bmixpeek://video_extractor@v1/damo_videollama3_7b_v1Overview
VideoLLaMA3 is a frontier multimodal model for image and video understanding from Alibaba DAMO Academy. It uses a vision-centric architecture with a 4-stage training pipeline including video-centric fine-tuning.
The model reduces vision tokens based on frame similarity for efficient long-video processing, making it practical for indexing hours of footage without proportional compute cost.
Architecture
7B parameter model with vision-centric design. 4-stage training: image pretraining → image SFT → video pretraining → video SFT. Adaptive token reduction based on inter-frame similarity for long videos.

// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so VideoLLaMA3-7B runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.
