CLIP

CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) is a multimodal model developed by OpenAI that connects text and images. It's trained on a diverse dataset of image-text pairs from the internet to understand both visual and textual information. CLIP can perform zero-shot classification and has strong image-text matching capabilities. RBLN NPUs can accelerate CLIP model inference using Optimum RBLN.
