*Want to figure out what a good prompt might be to create new images like an existing one? The **CLIP Interrogator** is here to get you answers!*

## About

The **CLIP Interrogator** is a prompt engineering tool that combines OpenAI's [CLIP](https://openai.com/blog/clip/) and Salesforce's [BLIP](https://blog.salesforceairesearch.com/blip-bootstrapping-language-image-pretraining/) to optimize text prompts to match a given image. Use the resulting prompts with text-to-image models like [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) on [DreamStudio](https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/) to create cool art!


## Using as a library

Create and activate a Python virtual environment
```bash
python3 -m venv ci_env
(for linux  ) source ci_env/bin/activate
(for windows) .\ci_env\Scripts\activate
```

Install with PIP
```
# install torch with GPU support for example:
pip3 install torch torchvision --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

# install clip-interrogator
pip install clip-interrogator==0.5.4
```

You can then use it in your script
```python
from PIL import Image
from clip_interrogator import Config, Interrogator
image = Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')
ci = Interrogator(Config(clip_model_name="ViT-L-14/openai"))
print(ci.interrogate(image))
```

CLIP Interrogator uses OpenCLIP which supports many different pretrained CLIP models. For the best prompts for 
Stable Diffusion 1.X use `ViT-L-14/openai` for clip_model_name. For Stable Diffusion 2.0 use `ViT-H-14/laion2b_s32b_b79k`

## Configuration

The `Config` object lets you configure CLIP Interrogator's processing. 
* `clip_model_name`: which of the OpenCLIP pretrained CLIP models to use
* `cache_path`: path where to save precomputed text embeddings
* `download_cache`: when True will download the precomputed embeddings from huggingface
* `chunk_size`: batch size for CLIP, use smaller for lower VRAM
* `quiet`: when True no progress bars or text output will be displayed

On systems with low VRAM you can call `config.apply_low_vram_defaults()` to reduce the amount of VRAM needed (at the cost of some speed and quality). The default settings use about 6.3GB of VRAM and the low VRAM settings use about 2.7GB.
