## Overview
# CLIP
The CLIP model was proposed in [Learning Transferable Visual Models From Natural Language Supervision](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00020) by Alec Radford, Jong Wook Kim, Chris Hallacy, Aditya Ramesh, Gabriel Goh,
Sandhini Agarwal, Girish Sastry, Amanda Askell, Pamela Mishkin, Jack Clark, Gretchen Krueger, Ilya Sutskever. CLIP
(Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training) is a neural network trained on a variety of (image, text) pairs. It can be
instructed in natural language to predict the most relevant text snippet, given an image, without directly optimizing
for the task, similarly to the zero-shot capabilities of GPT-2 and 3.
[CLIP](https://huggingface.co/papers/2103.00020) is a is a multimodal vision and language model motivated by overcoming the fixed number of object categories when training a computer vision model. CLIP learns about images directly from raw text by jointly training on 400M (image, text) pairs. Pretraining on this scale enables zero-shot transfer to downstream tasks. CLIP uses an image encoder and text encoder to get visual features and text features. Both features are projected to a latent space with the same number of dimensions and their dot product gives a similarity score.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
You can find all the original CLIP checkpoints under the [OpenAI](https://huggingface.co/openai?search_models=clip) organization.
*State-of-the-art computer vision systems are trained to predict a fixed set of predetermined object categories. This
restricted form of supervision limits their generality and usability since additional labeled data is needed to specify
any other visual concept. Learning directly from raw text about images is a promising alternative which leverages a
much broader source of supervision. We demonstrate that the simple pre-training task of predicting which caption goes
with which image is an efficient and scalable way to learn SOTA image representations from scratch on a dataset of 400
million (image, text) pairs collected from the internet. After pre-training, natural language is used to reference
learned visual concepts (or describe new ones) enabling zero-shot transfer of the model to downstream tasks. We study
the performance of this approach by benchmarking on over 30 different existing computer vision datasets, spanning tasks
such as OCR, action recognition in videos, geo-localization, and many types of fine-grained object classification. The
model transfers non-trivially to most tasks and is often competitive with a fully supervised baseline without the need
for any dataset specific training. For instance, we match the accuracy of the original ResNet-50 on ImageNet zero-shot
without needing to use any of the 1.28 million training examples it was trained on. We release our code and pre-trained
model weights at this https URL.*

This model was contributed by [valhalla](https://huggingface.co/valhalla). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/openai/CLIP).
The example below demonstrates how to calculate similarity scores between multiple text descriptions and an image with [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`] class.
## Usage tips and example
<hfoptions id="usage">
<hfoption id="Pipeline">
CLIP is a multi-modal vision and language model. It can be used for image-text similarity and for zero-shot image
classification. CLIP uses a ViT like transformer to get visual features and a causal language model to get the text
features. Both the text and visual features are then projected to a latent space with identical dimension. The dot
product between the projected image and text features is then used as a similar score.
```py
import torch
from transformers import pipeline
To feed images to the Transformer encoder, each image is split into a sequence of fixed-size non-overlapping patches,
which are then linearly embedded. A [CLS] token is added to serve as representation of an entire image. The authors
also add absolute position embeddings, and feed the resulting sequence of vectors to a standard Transformer encoder.
The [`CLIPImageProcessor`] can be used to resize (or rescale) and normalize images for the model.
The [`CLIPTokenizer`] is used to encode the text. The [`CLIPProcessor`] wraps
[`CLIPImageProcessor`] and [`CLIPTokenizer`] into a single instance to both
encode the text and prepare the images. The following example shows how to get the image-text similarity scores using
[`CLIPProcessor`] and [`CLIPModel`].
```python
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import requests
>>> from transformers import CLIPProcessor, CLIPModel
>>> model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
>>> processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
>>> url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
>>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
>>> inputs = processor(text=["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog"], images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
>>> logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image # this is the image-text similarity score
>>> probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1) # we can take the softmax to get the label probabilities
clip = pipeline(
task="zero-shot-image-classification",
model="openai/clip-vit-base-patch32",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device=0
)
labels = ["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog", "a photo of a car"]
clip("http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg", candidate_labels=labels)
```
</hfoption>
<hfoption id="AutoModel">
### Combining CLIP and Flash Attention 2
```py
import requests
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel
First, make sure to install the latest version of Flash Attention 2.
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, attn_implementation="sdpa")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
```bash
pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
labels = ["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog", "a photo of a car"]
inputs = processor(text=labels, images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1)
most_likely_idx = probs.argmax(dim=1).item()
most_likely_label = labels[most_likely_idx]
print(f"Most likely label: {most_likely_label} with probability: {probs[0][most_likely_idx].item():.3f}")
```
Make also sure that you have a hardware that is compatible with Flash-Attention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of flash-attn repository. Make also sure to load your model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16`)
</hfoption>
</hfoptions>
<Tip warning={true}>
## Notes
For small batch sizes, you might notice a slowdown in your model when using flash attention. Refer to the section [Expected speedups with Flash Attention and SDPA](#Expected-speedups-with-Flash-Attention-and-SDPA) below and select an appropriate attention implementation.
</Tip>
To load and run a model using Flash Attention 2, refer to the snippet below:
```python
>>> import torch
>>> import requests
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> from transformers import CLIPProcessor, CLIPModel
>>> device = "cuda"
>>> torch_dtype = torch.float16
>>> model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained(
... "openai/clip-vit-base-patch32",
... attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
... device_map=device,
... torch_dtype=torch_dtype,
... )
>>> processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32")
>>> url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
>>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
>>> inputs = processor(text=["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog"], images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
>>> inputs.to(device)
>>> with torch.no_grad():
... with torch.autocast(device):
... outputs = model(**inputs)
>>> logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image # this is the image-text similarity score
>>> probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1) # we can take the softmax to get the label probabilities
>>> print(probs)
tensor([[0.9946, 0.0052]], device='cuda:0', dtype=torch.float16)
```
### Using Scaled Dot Product Attention (SDPA)
PyTorch includes a native scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) operator as part of `torch.nn.functional`. This function
encompasses several implementations that can be applied depending on the inputs and the hardware in use. See the
[official documentation](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention.html)
or the [GPU Inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/perf_infer_gpu_one#pytorch-scaled-dot-product-attention)
page for more information.
SDPA is used by default for `torch>=2.1.1` when an implementation is available, but you may also set
`attn_implementation="sdpa"` in `from_pretrained()` to explicitly request SDPA to be used.
```python
from transformers import CLIPModel
model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("openai/clip-vit-base-patch32", torch_dtype=torch.float16, attn_implementation="sdpa")
```
For the best speedups, we recommend loading the model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16` or `torch.bfloat16`).
### Expected speedups with Flash Attention and SDPA
On a local benchmark (NVIDIA A10G, PyTorch 2.3.1+cu121) with `float16`, we saw the following speedups during inference for `"openai/clip-vit-large-patch14"` checkpoint ([code](https://gist.github.com/qubvel/ac691a54e54f9fae8144275f866a7ff8)):
