nomic-embed-vision-v1: Expanding the Latent Space
nomic-embed-vision-v1 is a high performing vision embedding model that shares the same embedding space as nomic-embed-text-v1.
All Nomic Embed Text models are now multimodal!

Hosted Inference API
The easiest way to get started with Nomic Embed is through the Nomic Embedding API.
Generating embeddings with the nomic Python client is as easy as
from nomic import embed
import numpy as np
output = embed.image(
images=[
"image_path_1.jpeg",
"image_path_2.png",
],
model='nomic-embed-vision-v1',
)
print(output['usage'])
embeddings = np.array(output['embeddings'])
print(embeddings.shape)
For more information, see the API reference

Training Details
We align our vision embedder to the text embedding by employing a technique similar to LiT but instead lock the text embedder!
For more details, see the Nomic Embed Vision Technical Report (soon to be released!) and corresponding blog post
Training code is released in the contrastors repository
Usage
Remember nomic-embed-text requires prefixes and so, when using Nomic Embed in multimodal RAG scenarios (e.g. text to image retrieval),
you should use the search_query: prefix.
Transformers
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel, AutoImageProcessor
from PIL import Image
import requests
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("nomic-ai/nomic-embed-vision-v1")
vision_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("nomic-ai/nomic-embed-vision-v1", trust_remote_code=True)
url = 'http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(image, return_tensors="pt")
img_emb = vision_model(**inputs).last_hidden_state
img_embeddings = F.normalize(img_emb[:, 0], p=2, dim=1)
Additionally, you can perform multimodal retrieval!
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
token_embeddings = model_output[0]
input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)
sentences = ['search_query: What are cute animals to cuddle with?', 'search_query: What do cats look like?']
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1')
text_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1', trust_remote_code=True)
text_model.eval()
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
with torch.no_grad():
model_output = text_model(**encoded_input)
text_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])
text_embeddings = F.normalize(text_embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
print(torch.matmul(img_embeddings, text_embeddings.T))
