This workshop aims to bring together a group of researchers and practitioners who share similar technical experiences and interests in the collaboration and evolution of multi-media foundation and specialized models. We invite the submission of papers and participation from those working with various techniques and technologies. The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: 

• Analysis and understanding of heterogeneous model collaboration strategies;

• Collaboration paradigms of foundation (e.g., MLLMs) and specialized models;

• Evolution paradigms of foundation (e.g., MLLMs) and specialized models;

• Device-cloud Collaborative Learning Paradigms (cloud-centric collaboration, device-centric collaboration, bidirectional device-cloud collaboration);

• Deployed research on heterogeneous model collaboration and evolution;

• Datasets or benchmarks for heterogeneous model collaboration and evolution.
