google/siglip-base-patch16-384
SigLIP Base patch16 (256/384/512) is a image and text embedding model (Apache-2.0). Can run on Mixpeek as a custom plugin.
Mixpeek does not run it today. It can run as a custom plugin: the weights load without remote code.

What it is good and bad at
- Best at
- Same space as the served siglip-base-patch16-224 at higher resolution: small text and fine detail in frames.
- Worst at
- Costs about 3x the compute of 224 for 384; no gain on simple product or scene search.
- Task

Input and output
Input
- image
- resolution
- 384x384 (256 and 512 siblings)
- color
- RGB
- normalize
- mean 0.5, std 0.5
- text
- max_tokens
- 64
- prompts
- short captions; the card uses 'This is a photo of {label}.'; text padded to max_length 64
Output
- vector
- dims
- 768
- distance
- cosine
- type
- dense
- note
- image and text vectors share one space; L2-normalize before cosine
How Mixpeek wires it
- Extractors
- None today
- Feature URIs
- None today
- Vector indexes
- None
- Retriever stages
- feature_search, mmr
- Combines with
- video frames (VideoFrameExpander) -> image vectors -> feature_search with a text query
- detector boxes (RT-DETR, D-FINE) -> crops -> image vectors per object
- image vectors + E5 text vectors on captions -> feature_search fusion (dbsf)
How it runs
- Status
- Runs as a custom plugin Not served. Would run as a custom extractor plugin (engine/extractors/<name>/v1/ with realtime.py for query embedding), loading safetensors with trust_remote_code false.
- Serve apps
- None
- Runtime
- transformers AutoModel + AutoProcessor (SiglipModel)
- Weights
- safetensors, no remote code
- Parameters
- 203 M
- Size on disk
- 814 MB
- Preprocessing
- Resize to 384x384, rescale to 0..1, normalize mean 0.5 std 0.5; text padded to 64 tokens (max_length).
- Postprocessing
- L2-normalize pooled image and text embeddings; sigmoid of scaled logits for zero-shot scores.
- Serving
- both, batch 32
- Hardware
- Runs on CPU (slower without a GPU)
