This technical report introduces Pegasus-1, a multimodal language model
specialized in video content understanding and interaction through natural
language. Pegasus-1 is designed to address the unique challenges posed by video
data, such as interpreting spatiotemporal information, to offer nuanced video
content comprehension across various lengths. This technical report overviews
Pegasus-1's architecture, training strategies, and its performance in
benchmarks on video conversation, zero-shot video question answering, and video
summarization. We also explore qualitative characteristics of Pegasus-1 ,
demonstrating its capabilities as well as its limitations, in order to provide
readers a balanced view of its current state and its future direction.

Pegasus-1 是一种专注于通过自然语言实现对视频内容理解和交互的多模式语言模型，其设计旨在解决视频数据所带来的独特挑战，如解释时空信息，以提供对各种长度的视频内容的细致理解。
