Problem After upgrading the CLIP‑like vision‑language model to the version shipped with Prometheus v2.4.1, evaluation runs on multimodal benchmarks (e.g., COCO caption, Flickr30k) began producing divergent scores between the text and image modalities. Typical symptoms include: Cross‑modal retrieval MAP dropped ~15 % while text‑only metrics stayed flat (Production run on the COCO caption benchmark). ~3 % of … Read more

Weaviate Multimodal Embedding Mismatch Across AWS Regions Problem Description (Symptoms and Impact) In a multi‑region Weaviate deployment (e.g., us-east-1 and eu-west-1) with cross‑region replication enabled, identical multimodal objects (image + text) produce divergent search results after replication. The most common observable artifacts are: Search recall drops up to 15 % for image‑text queries after a regional failover (see … Read more

vLLM multimodal inference mismatch between image and text

Problem Description During multimodal inference on an on‑premises server, a custom‑trained vision‑language model integrated with vLLM produces captions and answers that do not correspond to the supplied image. The generated text is either generic (e.g., “a person standing in a room”) or completely unrelated to the visual content. The failure is reproducible across different images … Read more

Multimodal input misalignment after deploying to AWS EC2 from on-prem

Problem Description A multimodal model (text + image) that runs flawlessly on an on‑premises GPU server produces misaligned predictions after being deployed to an AWS EC2 GPU‑optimized instance (e.g., p3.2xlarge or g4dn.xlarge). Typical symptoms observed in the logs are: RuntimeError: size mismatch, tensor A has 768 elements but tensor B has 1024 elements ValueError: Expected input batch … Read more
