# SigLIP2

## Overview

[SigLIP2](https://huggingface.co/papers/2502.14786) is a family of multilingual vision-language encoders that builds on the [SigLIP](./siglip) training recipe. It includes decoder-based pretraining, self-distillation, and masked prediction to improve dense prediction tasks (segmentation, depth estimation, etc.). This model is available in two variants:

- NaFlex supports different resolutions and maintains the native image aspect ratio
- FixRes supports fixed resolutions and is backwards compatible with [SigLIP](./siglip)

You can find all the original SigLIP2 checkpoints under the [SigLIP2](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/siglip2-67b5dcef38c175486e240107) collection.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the SigLIP2 models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply SigLIP2 to different image and text tasks.

The example below demonstrates zero-shot classification with [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`] class.

# follows the pipeline prompt template to get same results

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```py
import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel, BitsAndBytesConfig

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-large-patch16-512", quantization_config=bnb_config, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-224")

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
candidate_labels = ["a Pallas cat", "a lion", "a Siberian tiger"]

# follows the pipeline prompt template to get same results
texts = [f'This is a photo of {label}.' for label in candidate_labels]

# IMPORTANT: we pass `padding=max_length` and `max_length=64` since the model was trained with this
inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, padding="max_length", max_length=64, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = torch.sigmoid(logits_per_image)
print(f"{probs[0][0]:.1%} that image 0 is '{candidate_labels[0]}'")
```

## Notes

- Training is supported for DDP and FSDP on single-node multi-accelerator setups. However, it does not use [torch.distributed](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/dist_overview.html) utilities which may limit the scalability of batch size.
- When using the standalone [`GemmaTokenizerFast`] make sure to pass `padding="max_length"` and `max_length=64` as that's how the model was trained.
- Model was trained with *lowercased* text, so make sure your text labels are preprocessed the same way.
- To get the same results as the [`Pipeline`], a prompt template of `"This is a photo of {label}."` should be passed to the processor.
- The NaFlex variant processes different types of images at the appropriate resolution (using a larger resolution to process document images for example), while also minimizing the impact of aspect ratio distortion for certain inference tasks like OCR.

   NaFlex resizes the input image so the height and width are multiples of the patch size after resizing. It keeps the aspect ratio distortion as low as possible and produces a sequence length of at most the desired target sequence length (`max_num_patches`). After resizing, the image is split into a sequence of patches and a mask with padding information is added.
- Toggle the `attn_implementation` parameter to either `"sdpa"` or `"flash_attention_2"` to use a more memory-efficient attention.

    ```py
    # pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation

    from transformers import SiglipModel

    model = SiglipModel.from_pretrained(
        "google/siglip2-so400m-patch14-384",
        attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
        dtype=torch.float16,
        device_map=device,
    )
    ```
