SEA-CLIP-Tiny — ablation: Only CLIP

One row of the ablation table of SEA-CLIP-Tiny (ACCV 2026). Same architecture, pipeline and hyperparameters as the main model; the difference is the distillation objective: contrastive loss only (no distillation term).

Usage

import open_clip

model, _, preprocess = open_clip.create_model_and_transforms('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-abl-loss-clip')
tokenizer = open_clip.get_tokenizer('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-abl-loss-clip')

Model

Architecture	ViT-T/16 vision tower + 12-layer / 384-wide text tower, embed dim 512
Tokenizer	CLIP BPE, vocab 49408, context length 77
Parameters	46.11M (5.62M vision + 40.49M text)
Training data	CC12M + CulturalGround-OE-filt + WIT + Bloom + Mammoth-VL-SEA (12.72M pairs)
Teacher	MetaCLIP2-ViT-B-16-worldwide

Results

Retrieval R@1 on the held-out splits of each training source, zero-shot ImageNet accuracy, and the paper's retrieval-only Avg@1 over XM3600, Flickr30k-200 and XTD-200 (%).

CG R@1	WIT R@1	Bloom R@1	ImageNet	R@1-Avg
39.1	26.1	15.6	31.4	7.3
