Any plans to port to sglang or vLLM?
Show HN: Lance – image/video generation and understanding in one model

#12Seems like the video output is crippled. Resolution is low (720 or so), as is the frame rate. The samples are shown up-scaled and frame-interpolated. Why do that? Seems strange to be building sub-hd resolution video models in 2026.
Sure, but again, it's a micro 3B model. Perhaps it can't be used for general video work, but it might be able to do basic edits like remove an object from a table in a shot.
It’s not a micro model at all, it requires 40gb of VRAM. The 3B is just the active parameters.

Do you find the video understanding work there also to be 'silly little slop', or did you only look at the gifs on the page and not read about the understanding work in a 3B model? This is not ground-breaking by any means, but achieving this in a 3B model and sharing the approach + weights advances engineering and certainly more contribution that 'silly little slop videos' imo.
It’s not a 3B model, it has 3B active parameters. The full model is much larger.

That's true, I should have mentioned active. Actual params are closer to 12B-14B likely, given the 40GB VRAM usage.

#16Video understanding is kind of new, especially if done well, and hopefully working well with UI and UX, that'd be great. Current agents already struggle a bit with 2D space with normal screenshots of unconventional UIs, wonder if this model would do better with actual recordings of navigating and using applications, feels like it could help a bunch with understanding UX at least hopefully. Will be fun to play around with :)

#17What’s SOTA for video understanding? AFAIK most video search is powered by transcription and not the actual video. This seems impressive.

vllm-omni support is on the way : )
