💬🔥Releasing idefics2-8b-chatty, the chat-optimized version of Idefics2!

It is a very efficient (8B parameters) state-of-the-art VLM, has been red-teamed, and comes with a few surprises:
- 📖Paper dissecting a lot of the experimental insights we learned building Idefics2:
- 🏎️TGI integration for blazing-fast inference (you can already run it locally with < 24GB GPU memory)
- 🏆 Ranking 2nd in its category (< 10B, open weights) in the awesome Open VLM Leaderboard, and now appearing in the incredible Vision Arena

Hi Victor, Thanks for releasing this model. Is the code for training this model and the base Idefics2 model also available or do you plan to release the training code in future?
