A vision encoder is a necessary component for allowing many leading LLMs to be able to work with images uploaded by users.

The model attained comparable accuracy to ResNet-50 on ImageNet without being trained on any of the images in the dataset. The CLIP architecture works with different image encoders but attains best ...

The model is based on the Transformer architecture used in GPT-3 ... DALL·E generates output images autoregressively, and OpenAI uses CLIP to rank the quality of the generated images.
