    Overview

    OWL-ViT transfers image-text pre-trained models to open-vocabulary object detection using a standard ViT with minimal modifications. It supports both text-conditioned zero-shot detection and one-shot image-conditioned detection.

    On Mixpeek, OWL-ViT provides a clean, well-scaling detection model that improves consistently with larger pre-trained backbones and more data.

    Architecture

    Plain Vision Transformer (ViT-L/14) pre-trained with contrastive image-text learning, then fine-tuned end-to-end for detection. No detection-specific backbone changes needed.

    Mixpeek SDK Integration

    // No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
    // GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so owlvit-large-patch14 runs
    // on your side and the output is upserted through POST
    // /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
    // path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
    // accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.
    const res = await fetch(
      "https://api.mixpeek.com/v1/namespaces/ns_your_namespace/documents/upsert",
      {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
          Authorization: "Bearer API_KEY",
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          collection_id: "col_your_collection",
          documents: [
            {
              document_id: "asset-00412",
              // Boxes, masks, depth maps and anomaly scores are structured
              // results, not vectors. They go in payload and are reachable
              // through pre_filters on a retriever, not through similarity.
              payload: {
                detections: modelOutput,
                source_key: "archive/2026/asset-00412",
              },
            },
          ],
        }),
      },
    );
    
    // No managed alternative for an open label set. Two extractors do emit a
    // bbox, for the one thing each detects: document_graph_extractor@v1 per
    // layout block, face_identity_extractor@v1 per face. Nothing ships that
    // returns masks, depth maps or anomaly scores.
