You can now train SmolVLM2 and SmolVLM 256M multimodal models on Roboflow. This feature is available by generating a dataset version and selecting the option to train a model. You will then see SmolVLM as an option. From there, you can choose whether you want to train a SmolVLM2 or SmolVLM 256M model.

Both model types can be deployed in a [Roboflow Workflow](https://docs.roboflow.com/workflows).
