Vit B 16 SigLIP2 384

🚀 ViT-B-16-SigLIP2-384 Model Card

This is a SigLIP 2 Vision-Language model trained on WebLI. It has been converted for use in OpenCLIP from the original JAX checkpoints in Big Vision.

🚀 Quick Start

The model can be used for zero-shot image classification. You can follow the code example below to use it.

✨ Features

• Model Type: Contrastive Image-Text, Zero-Shot Image Classification.
• Original: https://github.com/google-research/big_vision
• Dataset: WebLI
• Papers:
  • SigLIP 2: Multilingual Vision-Language Encoders with Improved Semantic Understanding, Localization, and Dense Features: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14786
  • Sigmoid loss for language image pre-training: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.15343

📦 Installation

The code example requires open-clip-torch >= 2.31.0 and timm >= 1.0.15. You can install them using the following commands:

pip install open-clip-torch>=2.31.0 timm>=1.0.15

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
from open_clip import create_model_from_pretrained, get_tokenizer # works on open-clip-torch >= 2.31.0, timm >= 1.0.15

model, preprocess = create_model_from_pretrained('hf-hub:timm/ViT-B-16-SigLIP2-384')
tokenizer = get_tokenizer('hf-hub:timm/ViT-B-16-SigLIP2-384')

image = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'
))
image = preprocess(image).unsqueeze(0)

labels_list = ["a dog", "a cat", "a donut", "a beignet"]
text = tokenizer(labels_list, context_length=model.context_length)

with torch.no_grad(), torch.cuda.amp.autocast():
    image_features = model.encode_image(image, normalize=True)
    text_features = model.encode_text(text, normalize=True)
    text_probs = torch.sigmoid(image_features @ text_features.T * model.logit_scale.exp() + model.logit_bias)

zipped_list = list(zip(labels_list, [100 * round(p.item(), 3) for p in text_probs[0]]))
print("Label probabilities: ", zipped_list)
