# BLIP

[BLIP](https://huggingface.co/papers/2201.12086) (Bootstrapped Language-Image Pretraining) is a vision-language pretraining (VLP) framework designed for *both* understanding and generation tasks. Most existing pretrained models are only good at one or the other. It uses a captioner to generate captions and a filter to remove the noisy captions. This increases training data quality and more effectively uses the messy web data.

You can find all the original BLIP checkpoints under the [BLIP](https://huggingface.co/collections/Salesforce/blip-models-65242f40f1491fbf6a9e9472) collection.

#### transformers.BlipConfig[[transformers.BlipConfig]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.8.0/src/transformers/models/blip/configuration_blip.py#L112)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a BlipModel. It is used to instantiate a Blip
model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the
defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the [Salesforce/blip-vqa-base](https://huggingface.co/Salesforce/blip-vqa-base)

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import BlipConfig, BlipModel

>>> # Initializing a BlipConfig with Salesforce/blip-vqa-base style configuration
>>> configuration = BlipConfig()

>>> # Initializing a BlipPModel (with random weights) from the Salesforce/blip-vqa-base style configuration
>>> model = BlipModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

>>> # We can also initialize a BlipConfig from a BlipTextConfig and a BlipVisionConfig

>>> # Initializing a BLIPText and BLIPVision configuration
>>> config_text = BlipTextConfig()
>>> config_vision = BlipVisionConfig()

>>> config = BlipConfig(text_config=config_text, vision_config=config_vision)

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Whether or not to return the contrastive loss.

The [BlipModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/blip#transformers.BlipModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

BLIP Model for image captioning. The model consists of a vision encoder and a text decoder. One can optionally pass
`input_ids` to the model, which serve as a text prompt, to make the text decoder continue the prompt. Otherwise,
the decoder starts generating text from the [BOS] (beginning-of-sequence) token. will start generating the caption
from the text input. If no text input is provided, the decoder will start with the [BOS] token only.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage

BLIP Model with a vision and text projector, and a classification head on top. The model is used in the context of
image-text retrieval. Given an image and a text, the model returns the probability of the text being relevant to
the image.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.
