<b>Jina CLIP v2: Multilingual Multimodal Embeddings for Texts and Images</b>
</p>


## Quick Start

[Blog](https://jina.ai/news/jina-clip-v2-multilingual-multimodal-embeddings-for-text-and-images) | [Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.08802) | [Azure](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-gb/marketplace/apps/jinaai.jina-clip-v2-vm?tab=Overview) | [AWS SageMaker](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-bfbctuqmky676) | [Google Cloud Platform](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/browse?hl=en&inv=1&invt=AbiD-g&q=jina) | [API](https://jina.ai/embeddings)


## Intended Usage & Model Info

`jina-clip-v2` is a **general-purpose multilingual multimodal embedding model for text & images**.

Multimodal embeddings enable searching and understanding data across different modalities through a coherent representation. They serve as the backbone of neural information retrieval and multimodal GenAI applications.

Built upon [`jina-clip-v1`](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-clip-v1) and our recently released [`jina-embeddings-v3`](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-embeddings-v3), `jina-clip-v2` features several significant improvements:

* **Improved Performance**: v2 shows a 3% performance improvement over v1 in both text-image and text-text retrieval tasks. Similar to v1, v2's text encoder can serve as an effective multilingual long-context dense retriever. It performs on par with our frontier model `jina-embeddings-v3` (currently the best multilingual embeddings under 1B parameters on MTEB).
* **Multilingual Support**: Using the same backbone as `jina-embeddings-v3` for the text tower, `jina-clip-v2` supports 89 languages for multilingual-image retrieval, showing up to 4% improvement compared to `nllb-clip-large-siglip` on multilingual image retrieval tasks.
* **Higher Image Resolution**: v2 now supports 512x512 input image resolution, a significant increase from v1's 224x224. This higher resolution enables better processing of detailed images, improved feature extraction, and more accurate recognition of fine-grained visual elements.
* **Matryoshka Representations**: v2 allows users to truncate the output dimensions of both text and image embeddings from 1024 down to 64, reducing storage and processing overhead while maintaining strong performance.

Measuring 0.9B parameters, `jina-clip-v2` combines two powerful encoders:
* the text encoder `Jina-XLM-RoBERTa` (the backbone of `jina-embeddings-v3`) and 
* the vision encoder `EVA02-L14` (an efficient vision Transformer developed by BAAI).

| Base Model	           | Jina-XLM-RoBERTa	       | EVA02-L          |
| Parameters	           | 561M                    | 304M             |

| Min Output Dimensions | 64                      | 64               |
| Max Output Dimensions | 1,024                   | 1,024            |
| Layers	               | 24                      | 24               |
| Attention Mechanism	  | FlashAttention2	        | xFormers         |
| Pooling Strategy	     | Mean pooling	           | CLS pooling      |
| Additional Features	  | 89 languages supported	 | Patch size 14x14 |


These encoders are jointly trained to create aligned representations of images and text.

CLIP-like models have established themselves as the backbone for general-purpose multimodal applications. With `jina-clip-v2`, we're taking these capabilities to the next level, breaking down language barriers to deliver more accurate cross-modal understanding and retrieval. We're confident this release delivers a promise in making multimodal search and retrieval both more powerful and more accessible to developers worldwide.



## Training, Data, Parameters

Please refer to our [technical report of jina-clip-v2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.08802) for the model and training details.

[technical report of jina-clip-v1](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.20204)

## Faster Inference: FA2, XFormers and bf16

On a CUDA enabled torch environment, the model comes in `torch.bfloat16` 
precision by default. It is highly recommended to install 
[FlashAttention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-and-features) 
and [xFormers](https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-xformers) 
to make use of their efficient attention mechanism implementations.
