  ## 🦦 Otter: An Open-Source Multi-Modal Model for Advanced Instruction-Following and In-Context Learning
  
  Otter is a multi-modal model based on OpenFlamingo (an open-sourced version of DeepMind's Flamingo), trained on MIMIC-IT. It showcases improved instruction-following and in-context learning ability, making it ideal for researchers and developers building advanced multimodal AI applications.

  ## Key Features
  
  *   **Multi-Modal Instruction Following:** Based on OpenFlamingo and trained on MIMIC-IT, Otter excels at understanding and responding to instructions combining visual and textual inputs.
  *   **In-Context Learning:** Demonstrates strong in-context learning abilities, adapting to new tasks with few examples.
  *   **High-Resolution Visual Understanding (OtterHD):** OtterHD, fine-tuned from Fuyu-8B, facilitates fine-grained interpretations of high-resolution visual input without an explicit vision encoder module, processing image patches with text tokens for innovative and elegant visual reasoning.
