OpenCLIP ViT-H/14 trained on LAION-2B: the high-accuracy open CLIP checkpoint for visual search
laion/CLIP-ViT-H-14-laion2B-s32B-b79KOverview
This is the OpenCLIP ViT-H/14 model trained on the English LAION-2B image-text dataset (32B samples seen). It is one of the most downloaded open CLIP checkpoints and a strong, fully-open alternative to OpenAI CLIP, reaching roughly 78% zero-shot ImageNet top-1: well above the original ViT-L/14.
On Mixpeek, CLIP-ViT-H/14 is a visual embedding extractor: it maps images and video frames into a 1024-dimensional space shared with text, so an agent can search a media library with natural-language queries. Its higher accuracy makes it a good default when retrieval quality matters more than latency.
Architecture
Vision Transformer Huge (ViT-H/14): 32 layers, 1280-dim width, 14x14 patches, paired with a text transformer. Both encoders project into a shared 1024-dim space trained with contrastive (InfoNCE) loss on LAION-2B.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so CLIP-ViT-H-14-laion2B-s32B-b79K 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.

- 1024-dim image+text embeddings in a shared space
- Strong zero-shot classification (~78% ImageNet) and cross-modal retrieval
- Fully open weights and training data (LAION-2B)
- Drop-in OpenCLIP API, widely supported
Use Cases on Mixpeek
Performance
Higher accuracy than ViT-L at higher cost: use SigLIP SO400M or CLIP ViT-L when latency-bound
