# OpenAI-Clip: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## Multi-modal foundational model for vision and language tasks like image/text similarity and for zero-shot image classification


Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) uses a ViT like transformer to get visual features and a causal language model to get the text features. Both the text and visual features can then be used for a variety of zero-shot learning tasks.

This model is an implementation of OpenAI-Clip found [here](https://github.com/openai/CLIP/).


This repository provides scripts to run OpenAI-Clip on Qualcomm® devices.
More details on model performance across various devices, can be found

## Installation


Install the package via pip:
```bash
pip install "qai-hub-models[openai-clip]"
```


## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device

Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/) with your
Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in navigate to `Account -> Settings -> API Token`.

With this API token, you can configure your client to run models on the cloud
hosted devices.
```bash
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
```
Navigate to [docs](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/docs/) for more information.



## Demo off target

The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained
weights and runs this model on a sample input.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.openai_clip.demo
```

The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model
inference, and post processing.

**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.openai_clip.demo
```


### Run model on a cloud-hosted device

In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm®
device. This script does the following:
* Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
* Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
* Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.openai_clip.export
```
```

## How does this work?

This [export script](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/openai_clip/qai_hub_models/models/OpenAI-Clip/export.py)
leverages [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/) to optimize, validate, and deploy this model
on-device. Lets go through each step below in detail:

Step 1: **Compile model for on-device deployment**

To compile a PyTorch model for on-device deployment, we first trace the model
in memory using the `jit.trace` and then call the `submit_compile_job` API.

```python
import torch

import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.openai_clip import Model

# Load the model
model = Model.from_pretrained()
image_encoder_model = model.image_encoder
text_encoder_model = model.text_encoder

# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23")

# Trace model
image_encoder_input_shape = image_encoder_model.get_input_spec()
image_encoder_sample_inputs = image_encoder_model.sample_inputs()

traced_image_encoder_model = torch.jit.trace(image_encoder_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in image_encoder_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
image_encoder_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_image_encoder_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=image_encoder_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
image_encoder_target_model = image_encoder_compile_job.get_target_model()
# Trace model
text_encoder_input_shape = text_encoder_model.get_input_spec()
text_encoder_sample_inputs = text_encoder_model.sample_inputs()

traced_text_encoder_model = torch.jit.trace(text_encoder_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in text_encoder_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
text_encoder_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_text_encoder_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=text_encoder_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
text_encoder_target_model = text_encoder_compile_job.get_target_model()

```


Step 2: **Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device**

After compiling models from step 1. Models can be profiled model on-device using the
`target_model`. Note that this scripts runs the model on a device automatically
provisioned in the cloud.  Once the job is submitted, you can navigate to a
provided job URL to view a variety of on-device performance metrics.
```python
image_encoder_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=image_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
)
text_encoder_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=text_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
)

```

Step 3: **Verify on-device accuracy**

To verify the accuracy of the model on-device, you can run on-device inference
on sample input data on the same cloud hosted device.
```python
image_encoder_input_data = image_encoder_model.sample_inputs()
image_encoder_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=image_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=image_encoder_input_data,
)
image_encoder_inference_job.download_output_data()
text_encoder_input_data = text_encoder_model.sample_inputs()
text_encoder_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=text_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=text_encoder_input_data,
)
text_encoder_inference_job.download_output_data()

```
With the output of the model, you can compute like PSNR, relative errors or
spot check the output with expected output.

**Note**: This on-device profiling and inference requires access to Qualcomm®
AI Hub. [Sign up for access](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup).




## Deploying compiled model to Android


The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
  tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
  guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.


- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
  app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library  in an Android application.
