Llama 3.2 Vision models use image-reasoning adaptor weights that are trained separately from the core large language model weights. This separation preserves the general knowledge of the model and makes the model more efficient both at pretraining time and run time. The Llama 3.2-Vision models were pretrained on 6 billion image-and-text pairs, which required far fewer compute resources than were needed to pretrain the Llama 3.1 70B foundation model alone. Llama 3.2 models also run efficiently because they can tap additional compute resources for image reasoning only when the input requires it.

Llama 3 features improvements in post-training procedures that reduce false refusal rates, improve alignment, and increase diversity in the foundation model output. The result is better reasoning, code generation, and instruction-following capabilities. Llama 3 has more training tokens (15T) that result in better language comprehension.

- Direct preference optimzation (DPO) is an alternative to reinforcement learning from human feedback. With reinforcement learning from human feedback, responses must be sampled from a language model and an intermediate step of training a reward model is required. The direct preference optimzation uses a binary method of reinforcement learning where the model chooses the best of two answers based on preference data.
