A developer shared their extensive work on upgrading OpenCLIP. The major improvements focus on the input pipeline to support variable resolution/aspect NaFlexViT encoders and matching webdataset pipelines. Furthermore, existing audio CLAP models were integrated into OpenCLIP, enabling the use of existing LAION weights. The author also experimented with combining NaFlex with CLAP.
