We present Jina-VLM, a 2.4B parameter vision-language model that achieves state-of-the-art multilingual visual question answering among open 2B-scale VLMs. The model couples a SigLIP2 vision encoder with a Qwen3 language backbone through an attention-pooling connector that enables token-efficient processing of arbitrary-resolution images. The model achieves leading results on standard VQA benchmarks and multilingual evaluations while preserving competitive text-only performance. Model weights and code are publicly released atthis https URL.
