    SigLIP SO400M: shape-optimized image-text encoder, a top-quality CLIP alternative

    Overview

    SigLIP SO400M/14 at 384px pairs Google's sigmoid image-text loss with the SoViT-400M 'shape-optimized' backbone: a compute-efficient ViT that punches well above its 400M parameter count. It is one of the strongest open image-text encoders for zero-shot classification and retrieval, and a common default when teams want better accuracy than CLIP without going to billion-parameter models.

    On Mixpeek, SigLIP SO400M is a visual embedding extractor for image and video-frame search, with fine-grained visual understanding that helps on detailed product, scene, and style queries.

    Architecture

    Shape-optimized ViT (SoViT-400M/14) image encoder at 384px with a paired text encoder, trained with the sigmoid (SigLIP) loss instead of softmax contrastive, which scales better and improves zero-shot accuracy at a given compute budget.

    Mixpeek SDK Integration

    // No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
    // GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so siglip-so400m-patch14-384 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",
              // The vector name has to match a vector index on the collection.
              vectors: { "image-embedding": yourVector },
              payload: { source_key: "archive/2026/asset-00412" },
            },
          ],
        }),
      },
    );
    
    // Managed alternative, if this exact model is not the requirement:
    // image_extractor@v1 runs google/siglip-base-patch16-224
    // (768-d) over a bucket, with no inference of your own.
