OpenAI-Clip: Optimized for Mobile Deployment

Multi-modal foundational model for vision and language tasks like image/text similarity and for zero-shot image classification

Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) uses a ViT like transformer to get visual features and a causal language model to get the text features. Both the text and visual features can then be used for a variety of zero-shot learning tasks.

This model is an implementation of OpenAI-Clip found here.

This repository provides scripts to run OpenAI-Clip on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

How does this work?

This export script leverages Qualcomm® AI Hub to optimize, validate, and deploy this model on-device. Lets go through each step below in detail:

Step 1: Compile model for on-device deployment

To compile a PyTorch model for on-device deployment, we first trace the model in memory using the jit.trace and then call the submit_compile_job API.

import torch

import qai_hub as hub
from qai_hub_models.models.openai_clip import Model

# Load the model
model = Model.from_pretrained()
image_encoder_model = model.image_encoder
text_encoder_model = model.text_encoder

# Device
device = hub.Device("Samsung Galaxy S23")

# Trace model
image_encoder_input_shape = image_encoder_model.get_input_spec()
image_encoder_sample_inputs = image_encoder_model.sample_inputs()

traced_image_encoder_model = torch.jit.trace(image_encoder_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in image_encoder_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
image_encoder_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_image_encoder_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=image_encoder_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
image_encoder_target_model = image_encoder_compile_job.get_target_model()
# Trace model
text_encoder_input_shape = text_encoder_model.get_input_spec()
text_encoder_sample_inputs = text_encoder_model.sample_inputs()

traced_text_encoder_model = torch.jit.trace(text_encoder_model, [torch.tensor(data[0]) for _, data in text_encoder_sample_inputs.items()])

# Compile model on a specific device
text_encoder_compile_job = hub.submit_compile_job(
    model=traced_text_encoder_model ,
    device=device,
    input_specs=text_encoder_model.get_input_spec(),
)

# Get target model to run on-device
text_encoder_target_model = text_encoder_compile_job.get_target_model()

Step 2: Performance profiling on cloud-hosted device

After compiling models from step 1. Models can be profiled model on-device using the target_model. Note that this scripts runs the model on a device automatically provisioned in the cloud. Once the job is submitted, you can navigate to a provided job URL to view a variety of on-device performance metrics.

image_encoder_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=image_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
)
text_encoder_profile_job = hub.submit_profile_job(
    model=text_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
)

Step 3: Verify on-device accuracy

To verify the accuracy of the model on-device, you can run on-device inference on sample input data on the same cloud hosted device.

image_encoder_input_data = image_encoder_model.sample_inputs()
image_encoder_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=image_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=image_encoder_input_data,
)
image_encoder_inference_job.download_output_data()
text_encoder_input_data = text_encoder_model.sample_inputs()
text_encoder_inference_job = hub.submit_inference_job(
    model=text_encoder_target_model,
    device=device,
    inputs=text_encoder_input_data,
)
text_encoder_inference_job.download_output_data()

With the output of the model, you can compute like PSNR, relative errors or spot check the output with expected output.

Note: This on-device profiling and inference requires access to Qualcomm® AI Hub. Sign up for access.

Deploying compiled model to Android

The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:

TensorFlow Lite (.tflite export): This tutorial provides a guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.
QNN (.so export ): This sample app provides instructions on how to use the .so shared library in an Android application.
