MIT researcher adapts Molmo 2 to track salmon in sonar video
Ai2 published a case study about MIT researcher Kai Van Brunt, who adapted the open vision-language model Molmo 2 to create Molmo2Fish, a system that tracks salmon in underwater sonar footage and can correct its predictions based on natural-language instructions.
The project demonstrates how open model releases enable researchers to apply existing capabilities to specialized ecological problems.
