SigLIP 2 So400m

SigLIP 2 extends the pretraining objective of SigLIP with prior, independently developed techniques into a unified recipe, for improved semantic understanding, localization, and dense features.

Intended uses

You can use the raw model for tasks like zero-shot image classification and image-text retrieval, or as a vision encoder for VLMs (and other vision tasks).

Training procedure

SigLIP 2 adds some clever training objectives on top of SigLIP:

1. Decoder loss
2. Global-local and masked prediction loss
3. Aspect ratio and resolution adaptibility

Training data

SigLIP 2 is pre-trained on the WebLI dataset (Chen et al., 2023).

Compute

The model was trained on up to 2048 TPU-v5e chips.

Evaluation results

Evaluation of SigLIP 2 is shown below (taken from the paper).
