Implementation of CLIP for learning image and text representations.

OpenCLIP is a PyTorch toolkit for training and using models that relate images to text. Developers can load pretrained checkpoints, preprocess images, tokenize text, and compare their embeddings for tasks such as assigning labels from text descriptions. It runs as a Python package and supports training on paired image-text data supplied through CSV files or WebDataset shards.
