SigLIP2

This model was released on 2025-02-20 and added to Hugging Face Transformers on 2025-02-21.

SigLIP2

Overview

SigLIP2 is a family of multilingual vision-language encoders that builds on the SigLIP training recipe. It includes decoder-based pretraining, self-distillation, and masked prediction to improve dense prediction tasks (segmentation, depth estimation, etc.). This model is available in two variants:

• NaFlex supports different resolutions and maintains the native image aspect ratio
• FixRes supports fixed resolutions and is backwards compatible with SigLIP

You can find all the original SigLIP2 checkpoints under the SigLIP2 collection.

Tip

Click on the SigLIP2 models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply SigLIP2 to different image and text tasks.

The example below demonstrates zero-shot classification with Pipeline or the AutoModel class.

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

image = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
candidate_labels = ["a Pallas cat", "a lion", "a Siberian tiger"]

pipeline = pipeline(task="zero-shot-image-classification", model="google/siglip2-base-patch16-224", device=0, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipeline(image, candidate_labels=candidate_labels)

import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-224", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-224")

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
candidate_labels = ["a Pallas cat", "a lion", "a Siberian tiger"]

# follows the pipeline prompt template to get same results
texts = [f'This is a photo of {label}.' for label in candidate_labels]

# IMPORTANT: we pass `padding=max_length` and `max_length=64` since the model was trained with this
inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, padding="max_length", max_length=64, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = torch.sigmoid(logits_per_image)
print(f"{probs[0][0]:.1%} that image 0 is '{candidate_labels[0]}'")

import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-naflex", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-naflex")

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
candidate_labels = ["a Pallas cat", "a lion", "a Siberian tiger"]
texts = [f'This is a photo of {label}.' for label in candidate_labels]

# default value for `max_num_patches` is 256, but you can increase resulted image resolution providing higher values e.g. `max_num_patches=512`
inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, padding="max_length", max_num_patches=256, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = torch.sigmoid(logits_per_image)
print(f"{probs[0][0]:.1%} that image 0 is '{candidate_labels[0]}'")

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses bitsandbytes to only quantize the weights to int4.

import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModel, BitsAndBytesConfig

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-large-patch16-512", quantization_config=bnb_config, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/siglip2-base-patch16-224")

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
candidate_labels = ["a Pallas cat", "a lion", "a Siberian tiger"]

# follows the pipeline prompt template to get same results
texts = [f'This is a photo of {label}.' for label in candidate_labels]

# IMPORTANT: we pass `padding=max_length` and `max_length=64` since the model was trained with this
inputs = processor(text=texts, images=image, padding="max_length", max_length=64, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image
probs = torch.sigmoid(logits_per_image)
print(f"{probs[0][0]:.1%} that image 0 is '{candidate_labels[0]}'")

Notes

• Training is supported for DDP and FSDP on single-node multi-accelerator setups. However, it does not use torch.distributed utilities which may limit the scalability of batch size.

• When using the standalone GemmaTokenizerFast make sure to pass padding="max_length" and max_length=64 as that’s how the model was trained.

• Model was trained with lowercased text, so make sure your text labels are preprocessed the same way.

• To get the same results as the Pipeline, a prompt template of "This is a photo of {label}." should be passed to the processor.

• The NaFlex variant processes different types of images at the appropriate resolution (using a larger resolution to process document images for example), while also minimizing the impact of aspect ratio distortion for certain inference tasks like OCR.

  NaFlex resizes the input image so the height and width are multiples of the patch size after resizing. It keeps the aspect ratio distortion as low as possible and produces a sequence length of at most the desired target sequence length (max_num_patches). After resizing, the image is split into a sequence of patches and a mask with padding information is added.

• Toggle the attn_implementation parameter to either "sdpa" or "flash_attention_2" to use a more memory-efficient attention.

  # pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
  
  from transformers import SiglipModel
  
  model = SiglipModel.from_pretrained(
      "google/siglip2-so400m-patch14-384",
      attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
      dtype=torch.float16,
      device_map=device,
  )
