About

What aim-large-patch14-448 is

[AIMv2 Paper] [BibTeX]

We introduce the AIMv2 family of vision models pre-trained with a multimodal autoregressive objective. AIMv2 pre-training is simple and straightforward to train and scale effectively. Some AIMv2 highlights include:

  1. Outperforms OAI CLIP and SigLIP on the majority of multimodal understanding benchmarks.
  2. Outperforms DINOv2 on open-vocabulary object detection and referring expression comprehension.
  3. Exhibits strong recognition performance with AIMv2-3B achieving 89.5% on ImageNet using a frozen trunk.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys aim-large-patch14-448 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (aim-large-patch14-448 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"aim-large-patch14-448","input":"text to embed"}'
