# BLIP-2
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The BLIP-2 model was proposed in [BLIP-2: Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training with Frozen Image Encoders and Large Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12597) by
|
|
Junnan Li, Dongxu Li, Silvio Savarese, Steven Hoi. BLIP-2 leverages frozen pre-trained image encoders and large language models (LLMs) by training a lightweight, 12-layer Transformer
|
|
encoder in between them, achieving state-of-the-art performance on various vision-language tasks. Most notably, BLIP-2 improves upon [Flamingo](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.14198), an 80 billion parameter model, by 8.7%
|
|
on zero-shot VQAv2 with 54x fewer trainable parameters.

The abstract from the paper is the following:
|
|
|
|
*The cost of vision-and-language pre-training has become increasingly prohibitive due to end-to-end training of large-scale models. This paper proposes BLIP-2, a generic and efficient pre-training strategy that bootstraps vision-language pre-training from off-the-shelf frozen pre-trained image encoders and frozen large language models. BLIP-2 bridges the modality gap with a lightweight Querying Transformer, which is pre-trained in two stages. The first stage bootstraps vision-language representation learning from a frozen image encoder. The second stage bootstraps vision-to-language generative learning from a frozen language model. BLIP-2 achieves state-of-the-art performance on various vision-language tasks, despite having significantly fewer trainable parameters than existing methods. For example, our model outperforms Flamingo80B by 8.7% on zero-shot VQAv2 with 54x fewer trainable parameters. We also demonstrate the model's emerging capabilities of zero-shot image-to-text generation that can follow natural language instructions.*

|
## Usage tips
|
|
|
|
- BLIP-2 can be used for conditional text generation given an image and an optional text prompt. At inference time, it's recommended to use the [`generate`] method.
|
|
- One can use [`Blip2Processor`] to prepare images for the model, and decode the predicted tokens ID's back to text.
