SEA-CLIP-Tiny — English initialisation (e0)
The English CLIP-KD student checkpoint used to initialise every SEA-CLIP-Tiny run in SEA-CLIP-Tiny (ACCV 2026). It is the starting point, not a trained SEA model: no Southeast Asian data has been seen at this point.
Usage
import open_clip
model, _, preprocess = open_clip.create_model_and_transforms('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-init')
tokenizer = open_clip.get_tokenizer('hf-hub:fassabilf/sea-clip-tiny-init')Model
Reproduce
