clap.cpp: C++/GGML audio embedding inference with text-to-audio search
zhenghaoz · reddit · 2026-11-10
Developer zhenghaoz released clap.cpp, an open-source C++/GGML audio embedding inference library using GGUF models (github.com/gorse-io/clap.cpp).
- Supported models: CLAP, CLAP2, CLaMP3, MERT, MuQ, MuQ-MuLan
- WAV/MP3/FLAC input with automatic resampling and mono downmixing
- CLI, HTTP server, and Python/Rust/Node.js bindings
- HTTP endpoint compatible with OpenAI's text embeddings request format
Demo shows text-based audio search via CLAP embeddings: a single clap search --text 'dog' command returns the most similar dog sounds from the ESC-5 dataset ranked by score. Useful for local audio retrieval and classification workloads.
