What is ViT-SO400M-14-SigLIP-384?
ViT-SO400M-14-SigLIP-384 is a state-of-the-art Vision Transformer model that implements the SigLIP (Sigmoid Loss for Language-Image Pre-training) architecture. Originally developed in JAX as part of Google's Big Vision project, this model has been converted to PyTorch for broader accessibility. It specializes in zero-shot image classification and operates at a 384x384 pixel resolution.
Implementation Details
The model leverages a sophisticated architecture that combines vision transformer technology with sigmoid loss function for improved language-image pre-training. It can be used through both OpenCLIP for image-text operations and timm for image-only embeddings, offering flexibility in implementation.
