# mlx-community/clip-vit-base-patch32
This model was converted to MLX format from [`openai/clip-vit-base-patch32`](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-base-patch32).
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-base-patch32) for more details on the model.
## Use with mlx

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples.git
cd clip
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

```python
from PIL import Image
import clip

model, tokenizer, img_processor = clip.load("mlx_model")
inputs = {
    "input_ids": tokenizer(["a photo of a cat", "a photo of a dog"]),
    "pixel_values": img_processor(
        [Image.open("assets/cat.jpeg"), Image.open("assets/dog.jpeg")]
    ),
}
output = model(**inputs)

# Get text and image embeddings:
text_embeds = output.text_embeds
image_embeds = output.image_embeds
```
