OpenBMB's Trident fixes multimodal retrieval's text bias
Even small 2B-scale retrievers can double mixed-corpus retrieval quality once modality bias is addressed in training, which matters for anyone building RAG over documents with screenshots, tables or charts. The paper, code and project page are open, so teams can adopt the Multi-Positive View InfoNCE recipe or swap Trident-Qwen3VL-2B into their existing embedding stack.
