edgetpu VS CLIP

I know the tensor power pixelbook was shutdown and I never heard the actual reason just a bunch of speculation about costs/profitability which is probably true.

It's a shame that there isn't more competition and development in the neural asic world to harness the power of llms/generative AI on a low power, cheap hardware platform like the pixelbook line. For someone that invented the TPU they have done a not so great job of ensuring it's commercialization and support. Both on the hardware and software side.

The coral edge tpu seemed to be the right high level idea but without proper execution.

> even in the 80s I wanted an FPGA accelerators in every machine

Mostly unrelated, but I recently discovered that you can buy TPUs, right now, as a consumer product, from https://coral.ai.

The stock firmware already allows you to run these things so hard they overheat, which is amazing.

But yes, I also want FPGA accelerators.

I'm looking at the coral.ai cards and they have a M.2 A+E card, same form factor as the wifi slot in the m900 tiny. Has anyone tried another card in that slot other than wifi?

Chips optimized to perform the type of calculations used for NN inference at high parallelism. A good example would be the google spinoff https://coral.ai/ (though their usecase is highly limited by sub-par software constraints)

By no means an expert, but I have seen prototypes using a raspberry pi and a dongle from Coral Ai. They have PCIE and USB based modules.

Last news on https://coral.ai/ was on May 5 2022

Activity on the github project seems to have stopped. https://github.com/google-coral

Your problem statement still needs more clarification. If the above applies, the best way is to evaluate your ML-based pattern matcher on high-level scenarios. One approach to speed up the evaluation is to lift and shift the execution of scenarios into cloud. Another approach is to use an AI accelerator, such as http://coral.ai or other.

You probably could but not with raspis. Maybe the TPUs they sell. https://coral.ai/

We will also need two more libraries: OpenAI’s CLIP GitHub repo, enabling us to generate image features with the CLIP model, and the umap-learn library, which will let us apply a dimensionality reduction technique called Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) to those features to visualize them in 2D:

Biggest missing feature for all these self hosted photo hosting is the lack of a real search. Being able to search for things like "beach at night" is a time saver instead of browsing through hundreds or thousands of photos. There are trained neural networks out there like https://github.com/openai/CLIP which are quite good.

In computer vision, this is known as zero-shot learning, or zero-shot prediction, because the goal is to generate predictions without explicitly being given any example predictions to learn from. With the advent of high quality multimodal models like CLIP and foundation models like Segment Anything, it is now possible to generate remarkably good zero-shot predictions for a variety of computer vision tasks, including:

the first thing that comes to mind is CLIP: https://github.com/openai/CLIP

Whenever I’m working on semantic search applications that connect images and text, I start with a family of models known as contrastive language image pre-training (CLIP). These models are trained on image-text pairs to generate similar vector representations or embeddings for images and their captions, and dissimilar vectors when images are paired with other text strings. There are multiple CLIP-style models, including OpenCLIP and MetaCLIP, but for simplicity we’ll focus on the original CLIP model from OpenAI. No model is perfect, and at a fundamental level there is no right way to compare images and text, but CLIP certainly provides a good starting point.

in the modal card it says: pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G and CLIP-ViT/L).

Command: "C:\StabilityMatrix\Packages\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\python.exe" -m pip install https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/d50d76daa670286dd6cacf3bcd80b5e4823fc8e1.zip --prefer-binary

CLIP might work for your needs.
