Trained on 400 million image-text pairs, it employs separate embedding models for text (Transformer-based) and images (ResNet or Vision Transformer) to learn representations where similar content is closer in embedding space. The model excels at zero-shot tasks like image classification and OCR for simple text, achieving performance comparable to supervised baselines. While CLIP struggles with abstract tasks like object counting, it offers versatile applications in similarity search, RAG systems, and multimodal understanding tasks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
