This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 5 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

blip-2-vision-language from jensen-yao/agents-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jensen-yao/agents-skills/blip-2-vision-language@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Vision-language pre-training framework bridging frozen image encoders and LLMs. Use when you need image captioning, visual question answering, image-text retrieval, or multimodal chat with state-of-the-art zero-shot performance.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# BLIP-2: Vision-Language Pre-training

Comprehensive guide to using Salesforce's BLIP-2 for vision-language tasks with frozen image encoders and large language models.

## When to use BLIP-2

**Use BLIP-2 when:**
- Need high-quality image captioning with natural descriptions
- Building visual question answering (VQA) systems
- Require zero-shot image-text understanding without task-specific training
- Want to leverage LLM reasoning for visual tasks
- Building multimodal conversational AI
- Need image-text retrieval or matching

**Key features:**
- **Q-Former architecture**: Lightweight query transformer bridges vision and language
- **Frozen backbone efficiency**: No need to fine-tune large vision/language models
- **Multiple LLM backends**: OPT (2.7B, 6.7B) and FlanT5 (XL, XXL)
- **Zero-shot capabilities**: Strong performance without task-specific training
- **Efficient training**: Only trains Q-Former (~188M parameters)
- **State-of-the-art results**: Beats larger models on VQA benchmarks

**Use alternatives instead:**
- **LLaVA**: For instruction-following multimodal chat
- **InstructBLIP**: For improved instruction-following (BLIP-2 successor)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jensen-yao/agents-skills/blip-2-vision-language@sha256:38227abdcb742add

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
