CLIP is the model that made mobile multimodal AI possible. Without CLIP, there's no "point camera at object and get description."
On Snapdragon 865, CLIP ViT-B/32 processes images in ~50ms. Combined with a tiny LLM (0.5B), you get a full multimodal pipeline that runs on a phone.
Our pipeline: CLIP (encode image) → Qwen 0.5B (generate description) = 450MB total, real-time on mobile.
OpenAI releasing CLIP open-source was one of the most impactful decisions in AI history.
