One preprocessed image → language-space soft tokens [1, softTokens, textHidden], pre-divided by embed_scale.
StaticloadLoad the vision_tower.* + embed_vision.* tensors from the bf16
sidecar. embedScale = the language model's embed_scale
(= sqrt(textHidden)); features come out pre-divided by it.
Immutable encoder weights and computation settings, hashed once on use.
