Decision brief

Ask-Anything is an end-to-end video chatbot framework leveraging LLMs like ChatGPT, miniGPT4, StableLM for enhanced video understanding.

Good fit when

  • When you need advanced video and image processing with large language models for captioning and QA tasks
  • If your projects require handling both long videos and detailed task annotations with optimized performance

Avoid when

  • Avoid if only text-based interactions are needed, as Ask-Anything focuses on video understanding
  • Not suitable for real-time applications requiring ultra-fast inference without compromising on accuracy

⭐️: We are also working on a updated version, stay tuned!

:fire: Updates

  • 2026/07/17: 🚀🚀 We release VideoChat3, a fully open, efficient 4B Video MLLM for general, long-form, and streaming video understanding. VideoChat3 improves 18/19 offline and 10/11 streaming metrics over Qwen3-VL-4B. We release the model weights, code, training recipes, and complete datasets. Check out our paper and homepage!
  • 2025/01/18: We release videochat-flash and videochat-tpo to extend MLLMs' capabilities on both long and accurate video understanding. videochat-flash sets new records in mutiple video benchmarks (for both short and long videos), improving code usability by leveaging LLaVA and others. videochat-tpo exploits classical vision task annotations (e.g. tracking) to optimize MLLMs in a DPO manner, enhancing MLLMs' performance and enabling capabilities in tracking, segmentation, and more.
  • 2024/06/25: We release the branch of videochat2 using vllm, speed up the inference of videochat2.
  • 2024/06/19: 🎉🎉 Our VideoChat2 achieves the best performances among the open-sourced VideoLLMs on MLVU, a multi-task long video understanding benchmark.
  • 2024/06/13: Fix some bug and give testing scripts/
    • :warning: We replace some repeated (~30) QAs in MVBench, which may only affect the results by 0.5%.
    • :loudspeaker: We give the scripts for testing EgoSchema and Video-MME, please check the demo_mistral.ipynb and demo_mistral_hd.ipynb.
  • 2024/06/07: :fire::fire::fire: We release VideoChat2_HD, which is fine-tuned with high-resolution data and is capable of handling more diverse tasks. It showcases better performance on different benchmarks, especially for detailed captioning. Furthermore, it achieves 54.8% on Video-MME, the best score among 7B MLLMs. Have a try! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻
  • 2024/06/06: We release **
