This talk will chart the evolution of vision-language models (VLMs) and illustrate how architectural innovations and training paradigms have progressively closed the gap between visual perception and natural‐language understanding. I will cover models such as CLIP , Flamingo and LLaVA and discuss each of their design principles, strengths and weaknesses, and comparative performance across standard benchmarks.
