| Challenge: | Recent Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown tremendous promise in a wide range of realworld applications, but their size has made at-scale deployment and operation challenging due to high consumption of cloud computing resource, high latency, and expensive API calls. |
| Approach: | They propose a master–apprentice framework for collaborative inference between large and small vision language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves reasoning performance on widely-recognized and challenging general reasoning benchmarks and specifically boosts reasoning of apprentice VLMs by 36.6%. |
