Don't have a GPU on my server. How is performance on the CPU ?
It will be atrocious. You can run it, but you'll likely be waiting for weeks if not months.
the model under the hood is clip interrogator, and it looks like it is just the torch model.
it will run on cpu, but we can do better, an onnx version of the model will run a lot better on cpu.
sure, or a .cpp. But it will still not be anywhere near as good as a GPU. However it might be sufficient for something just checking new images
I'm not really convinced that a GPU backend is needed. Was there ever a comparison of the different CLIP model variants? Or a graph optimized / quantized ONNX version?
I think the proposed solution makes a lot of sense for the task at hand if it were integrated on the pic-rs end, but it would be worth investigating further improvements if it were on the lemmy server end.
For scanning all existing images, trust me a good GPU is necessary. I'm scanning all my backend on a 4090 with 400 threads and I'm still only halfway through after 4 hours.
For scanning newly uploaded images, a CPU might be sufficient but the users might get annoyed at the wait times.
