siglip2-large-patch16-512-swe-32768

This model is a 25.91% smaller version of google/siglip2-large-patch16-512 optimized for Swedish language via vocabulary size reduction using the trimming method.
This trimmed model should perform similarly to the original model with only 32,768 tokens and a much smaller memory footprint. However, it may not perform well for other languages as tokens not commonly used in the selected languages were removed from the vocabulary.

Model Statistics

Metric	Original	Trimmed	Reduction
Vocabulary size	256,000 tokens	32,768 tokens	87.20%
Model size	882,313,218 params	653,723,650 params	25.91%

Usage

Transformers (zero-shot image classification)

python

from transformers import pipeline

# load pipeline
image_classifier = pipeline(model="alphaedge-ai/siglip2-large-patch16-512-swe-32768", task="zero-shot-image-classification")

# load image and candidate labels
image = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
candidate_labels = ["Potential label 1 in Swedish", "Potential label 2 in Swedish", "Potential label 3 in Swedish", "Potential label 4 in Swedish"]

# run inference
outputs = image_classifier(image, candidate_labels)
print(outputs)

Sentence-transformers (texts-images similarity)

python

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("alphaedge-ai/siglip2-large-patch16-512-swe-32768")

images = [
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/tasks/car.jpg",
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/bee.jpg",
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/cats-image/resolve/main/cats_image.jpeg"
]
texts = ["Text 1 in Swedish", "Text 2 in Swedish", "Text 3 in Swedish", "Text 4 in Swedish"]

image_embeddings = model.encode(images)
text_embeddings = model.encode(texts)
print(image_embeddings.shape, text_embeddings.shape)

similarities = model.similarity(image_embeddings, text_embeddings)
print(similarities)
