Understanding CLIP: Theory, Architecture, and Zero‑Shot Vision

CLIP (Contrastive Language‑Image Pre‑training) is an OpenAI model that learns visual concepts from 400 million image‑text pairs using a dual‑encoder architecture, enabling zero‑shot classification, flexible text‑driven search, and cross‑modal reasoning, while its strengths, limitations, and emerging applications are examined in detail.
