Kuaishou's video-centric vision-language model for clip understanding and Q&A
Kwai-Keye/Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3Bmixpeek://video_extractor@v1/kwai_keye_vl2_30b_a3b_v1Overview
Keye-VL 2.0 (30B Mixture-of-Experts with ~3B active params) is Kuaishou's video-first multimodal LLM, built for understanding short-form and long video alongside images and text. It is strong at video question answering, captioning, and temporal reasoning over clips.
On Mixpeek, a model like Keye-VL works as a captioning/understanding stage in a video pipeline: a fast encoder (V-JEPA 2, VideoPrism, InternVideo2) retrieves candidate clips, then a VLM like Keye-VL generates grounded descriptions or answers questions about the retrieved moments — keeping the expensive VLM off the full corpus.
Architecture
Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model (~30B total, ~3B active) with a vision encoder feeding an LLM decoder, instruction-tuned for video and image understanding, captioning, and VQA with temporal reasoning.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
import { Mixpeek } from "mixpeek";
const mx = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: "API_KEY" });
// Managed: create a collection over a bucket; Mixpeek runs this model's extractor
const collection = await mx.collections.create({
namespace_id: "my-namespace",
collection_name: "my-collection",
source: { type: "bucket", bucket_ids: ["bkt_your_bucket"] },
feature_extractor: {
feature_extractor_name: "video_description",
version: "v1",
parameters: { model_id: "Kwai-Keye/Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3B" },
},
});Capabilities
- Video question answering and captioning
- Temporal reasoning over short and long clips
- Image + text multimodal understanding
- Efficient MoE inference (~3B active params)
Use Cases on Mixpeek
