Europe’s Large Multilingual Vision-Language Models Hit the Stage "On June 10, 2025, Andre Martins, Head of Research at Language Solutions Integrator Unbabel, announced the release of a preview version of two large multilingual vision-language models (VLMs), EuroVLM-1.7B and EuroVLM-9B, developed in collaboration with Instituto Superior Técnico at the University of Lisbon. The models support 35 languages, including all 24 official EU languages, along with Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Galician, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Built on EuroLLM — a multilingual text-only model — the new VLMs combine strong multilingual language understanding with vision encoding. This enables them to process images alongside text and perform a range of multilingual vision-language tasks, such as: Read the full study breakdown : https://slator.com/europes-large-multilingual-vision-language-models-hit-the-stage/ Slator continues to lead the way in covering the latest breakthroughs in AI translation , machine learning, and translation management software.
