Interrogator
to only load BLIP to VRAM on init, and leave CLIP in RAM until it's needed.When
interrogate
is first called, it does BLIP inference, unloads it, loads CLIP, then does CLIP inference. 'Unloaded' in this case just means 'in RAM'.Using this, I can run classic/fast interrogation on 4GB of VRAM, 'best' is still a little too big however.
This could cause performance issues when processing a large number of images, so I also added
interrogate_batch
and correspondinginterrogate_{classic,fast}_batch
. There was no need to add a batch function for negative interrogation since it only uses CLIP.This also includes automatic
black
formatting and extra type hints, which can be removed if you want.I'd like to contribute my changes, since this makes clip-interrogator more accessible.
It could maybe be disabled by default due to slight performance issues for code that doesn't use one of the
batch
functions and could just be enabled throughConfig
.
