## Model Details

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->
In this project, we introduce GiT (Generalist Vision Transformer). GiT has the following characteristics:

- 😮 **Minimalist architecture design similar to LLM**: GiT consists solely of a single transformer, without the inclusion of additional vision encoder and adapter.
- 🚀 **Covering all types of visual understanding tasks**: GiT addresses a spectrum of visual tasks, including object-level tasks (e.g., objecte detection), pixel-level tasks (e.g., semantic segmentation) and vision-language tasks (e.g., image captioning).
- 🤗 **Achieving task synergy by unified language interface**: Similar to LLM, GiT observes task synergy effect in multi-task training.
- 🔥 **Strong performance on zero-shot and few-shot benchmark**: GiT scales well with model size and data, demonstrating remarkable generalizability across diverse scenarios after trained on 27 datasets.
