CLIP Embedding Model

Class: ClipModelBlockV1

Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.models.foundation.clip.v1.ClipModelBlockV1

Use a CLIP model to create semantic embeddings of text and images.

This block accepts an image or string and returns an embedding. The embedding can be used to compare the similarity between different images or between images and text.

Type identifier

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/clip@v1to add the block as as step in your workflow.

Properties

Name	Type	Description	Refs
name	str	Unique name of step in workflows.	❌
data	str	The string or image to generate an embedding for..	✅
version	str	Variant of CLIP model.	✅

The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.
