Semantic Image Search CLI information
What is Semantic Image Search CLI?
CLI tool for semantic image search, locally without using third party APIs. Powered by node-mlx, a machine learning framework for Node.js.
The index is built by computing the embeddings of images using the CLIP model, and then stored in a binary JSON file.
Searching the images is computing cosine similarities between the query string and the indexed embeddings. There is no database involved here, everytime you do a search the computation is done for all the embeddings stored, which is very fast even when you have tens of thousands of pictures.
The JavaScript implementation of the CLIP model is in a separate module.
