Kailash Labs
A factory for small and specialized video reasoning models
What is Kailash Labs?
The world generates petabytes of video every day, and almost none of it is readable to machines. Frontier VLMs that can unlock this (like Gemini) are too expensive to run at the volume real industries have, too generic for any single task, and can't be deployed on-prem where sensitive video lives. We are building an auto vision factory: take video plus a customer's objective, distill a frontier model, and post-train a small open model that is SOTA on that one task and serve it blazingly fast. Our first product, Marlin, is a 2B-parameter open-weights video VLM that matches Gemini-2.5-flash on dense captioning and temporal grounding at a fraction of the cost.
From the website
Kailash Labs is a video research and product lab. We are on a mission to convert the world's videos into structured data that machines can reason over. Our aim is to build small, grounded video understanding models that can be adapted to any downstream video analysis task with little data. Towards a world where machines can watch and understand videos as fluently as humans.
