What is siglip2-so400m-patch16-naflex?
SigLIP 2 is an advanced vision-language model that extends the original SigLIP architecture with enhanced capabilities for semantic understanding, localization, and dense feature extraction. This particular variant features a 400M parameter architecture with 16x16 patches and NAFlex adaptations.
Implementation Details
The model implements several sophisticated training objectives beyond the original SigLIP framework, incorporating decoder loss, global-local masked prediction, and adaptive handling of aspect ratios and resolutions. It's specifically designed for zero-shot image classification and image-text retrieval tasks, with the ability to serve as a vision encoder for larger vision-language models.
