OpenAI's CLIP model using a ViT-B/32 image encoder, the smaller of the two widely deployed CLIP variants. Trained contrastively on 400 million image-text pairs, it aligns image and text representations in a shared embedding space for zero-shot classification and retrieval. The B/32 variant sacrifices accuracy versus ViT-L/14 for faster inference.
