A vision tower is the subnetwork in a multimodal model responsible for encoding images into visual tokens, usually stacked from ViT-like structures, with outputs aligned to the language model's embedding space through a projection layer.

UnverifiedVisual tokens are the basic unit for multimodal large models to process images; a 448×448 image with a patch size of 14 produces 1024 visual tokens.67% similarUnverifiedMultimodal vision models (such as gemma4 and qwen3-vl) have a vision encoder, and images are cut into patches and encoded into visual tokens that are fed into the language model together with text tokens; their token consumption is far higher than pure-text inference and is positively correlated with image resolution.64% similarUnverifiedThe core architecture of Video-LLMs typically consists of three components: a visual encoder, a projection layer, and a large language model backbone.64% similarUnverifiedVisual tokens and text tokens typically pass through a Projector layer for dimensional alignment before being fed into the LLM.64% similar
