TIPS — So400m/14 (v1)#

TIPS (Text-Image Pre-training with Spatial awareness, ICLR 2025) is a family of contrastive vision-language models that produce spatially rich image features aligned with text embeddings. This is the original (v1) So400m/14 release with 413M vision params and 448M text params, converted from the official checkpoints.

Usage#

pip install transformers torch torchvision sentencepiece scikit-learn requests
Load the model#
from transformers import AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/tipsv1-so400m14", trust_remote_code=True)
model.eval()
Encode images#

Images should be tensors in [0, 1] range (just ToTensor(), no ImageNet normalization).

import requests
from PIL import Image
from torchvision import transforms

url = "https://huggingface.co/spaces/google/TIPSv2/resolve/main/examples/zeroseg/pascal_context_00049_image.png"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize((448, 448)), transforms.ToTensor()])
pixel_values = transform(image).unsqueeze(0)

out = model.encode_image(pixel_values)
print(out.cls_token.shape)     # (1, 1, 1152) — global image embedding
print(out.patch_tokens.shape)  # (1, 1024, 1152) — per-patch spatial features

The second CLS token (out.register_tokens) was trained on synthetic captions; the first (out.cls_token) on web alt-text, and is the one aligned with the text tower.

Encode text#
text_emb = model.encode_text(["a photo of a bus", "a photo of a dog"])
print(text_emb.shape)  # (2, 1152) — one embedding per query
Zero-shot classification#
import torch.nn.functional as F

classes = ["bus", "car", "dog", "cat"]
cls = F.normalize(out.cls_token[:, 0, :], dim=-1)
text_emb = F.normalize(model.encode_text(classes), dim=-1)
similarity = cls @ text_emb.T
print(classes[similarity.argmax()])  # predicted class
Visualize spatial features#
import numpy as np
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA

feat = out.patch_tokens[0].detach().cpu().numpy()
rgb = PCA(n_components=3, whiten=True).fit_transform(feat).reshape(32, 32, 3)
rgb = 1 / (1 + np.exp(-2.0 * rgb))  # sigmoid for [0, 1] range with good contrast

Model details#

  • ViT-So400m/14 vision encoder (27 layers, patch size 14, two CLS tokens) + 27-layer transformer text encoder
  • Native resolution 448; other patch-multiple resolutions work via positional-embedding interpolation
  • Preprocessing: images to [0, 1], no normalization; SentencePiece tokenizer, lowercased, max 64 tokens
