Source description

CLIP ViT-B/16 Vision Encoder (GGUF)

GGUF conversion of openai/clip-vit-base-patch16 for use with CrispEmbed.

  • Architecture: CLIP ViT-B/16 vision encoder
  • Parameters: 86M
  • Output: 512-dimensional L2-normalized embeddings (768d internal, projected to 512d via visual_projection)
  • Input: 224x224 RGB image with CLIP normalization
  • Size: ~329 MB
  • Source: openai/clip-vit-base-patch16

Usage

# Embed a single image
crispembed -m clip-vit-base-patch16 --image photo.jpg

# Batch processing
crispembed -m clip-vit-base-patch16 --image-dir ./photos/ --output embeddings.bin

Cross-modal pairing

This model shares an embedding space with cstr/clip-text-base-GGUF. Use both to perform zero-shot image-text matching:

crispembed -m clip-vit-base-patch16 --image photo.jpg        # vision embedding
crispembed -m clip-text-base "a photo of a cat"               # text embedding

Cosine similarity between the two outputs measures image-text alignment.

Notes

  • All output embeddings are L2-normalized.
  • This is a GGUF conversion; weights are numerically equivalent to the original HuggingFace model.

Provenance and EU AI Act Art. 53 note

  • Upstream model: openai/clip-vit-base-patch16 — published by openai.
  • Upstream licence: mit. This repository redistributes under the same terms; it grants no rights the upstream licence does not.
  • What was done here: format conversion and/or quantisation only (GGUF/GGML). No training, no fine-tuning, no merging, no distillation, no change to architecture, vocabulary or capability. Only the numeric representation of the upstream weights differs.
  • Training data: documented — where it is documented at all — by the upstream provider; see the upstream model card. No training data was used, added or selected by this repository.
  • Provider status: under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 the upstream authors remain the provider of this model. Converting the serialisation format does not make this repository the provider of a new general-purpose AI model, and no such claim is made. Questions about training content, copyright policy or model capability belong upstream.
