Hugging Face has released two new ultra-compact vision-language models, SmolVLM-256M and SmolVLM-500M, extending the SmolVLM family to sub-billion parameter sizes. These models are designed for on-device and resource-constrained deployment scenarios. The release continues the trend of pushing capable multimodal models into smaller footprints suitable for edge inference.
