• ❗ Requires OpenAI/CLIP
• Generates matching text embeddings / a 'CLIP opinion' about images
• Uses gradient ascent to optimize text embeds for cosine similarity with image embeds
• Saves 'CLIP opinion' as .txt files [best tokens]
• Saves text-embeds.pt with [batch_size] number of embeds
• Can be used to create an adversarial text-image aligned dataset
• For XAI, adversarial training, etc; see 'attack' folder for example images
• Usage: Single image: python gradient-ascent.py --use_image attack/024_attack.png
• Usage: Batch process: python gradient-ascent.py --img_folder attack
• 🆕 Load custom model: python gradient-ascent-unproj_flux1.py --model_name "path/to/myCLIP.safetensors"

• Args --model_name now accepts name (default ViT-L/14), OR a "/path/to/model.pt"
• If it ends on .safetensors, will assume 'ViT-L/14' (CLIP-L) and load state_dict. ✅
• ⚠️ Must be nevertheless in original "OpenAI/CLIP" format. HuggingFace converted models will NOT work.
• My HF: zer0int/CLIP-GmP-ViT-L-14 model.safetensors will NOT work (it's for diffusers / HF).
• Instead, download the full model .safetensors [text encoder AND vision encoder]; direkt link:
• My GmP-BEST-smooth and GmP-Text-detail and 🆕 SAE-GmP will work with this code.

• 🆕 Added gradient-ascent-unproj_flux1.py. Usage is the same; however, in addition to projected embeddings:
• Saves pinv and inv version of pre-projection embeddings.
• 👉 Flux.1-dev uses these embeddings (pinv seems best for Flux.1-dev).
• Recommended samplers: HEUN, Euler.

Example "worst portrait ever" generated by Flux.1-dev with pure CLIP guidance (no T5!) as CLIP apparently tried to encode the facial expression of the cat 😂; plus, the usual CLIP text gibberish of something 'cat' and 'shoe' mashed-up:

Command-line arguments:

--batch_size, default=13, type=int, help="Reduce batch_size if you have OOM issues"
--model_name, default='ViT-L/14', help="CLIP model to use"
--tokens_to, default="texts", help="Save CLIP opinion texts path"
--embeds_to, default="embeds", help="Save CLIP embeddings path"
--use_best, default="True", help="If True, use best embeds (loss); if False, just saves last step (not recommended)"
--img_folder, default=None, help="Path to folder with images, for batch embeddings generation"
--use_image, default=None, help="Path to a single image"

Further processing example code snippets:

text_embeddings = torch.load("path/to/embeds.pt").to(device)

# loop over all batches of embeds and do a thing
num_embeddings = text_embeddings.size(0) # e.g. batch_size 13 -> idx 0 to 12
for selected_embedding_idx in range(num_embeddings):
    print(f"Processing embedding index: {selected_embedding_idx}")
    # do your thing here!


# select a random batch from embedding and do a thing
selected_embedding_idx = torch.randint(0, text_embeddings.size(0), (1,)).item()
selected_embedding = text_embeddings[selected_embedding_idx:selected_embedding_idx + 1]

# or just manually select one
selected_embedding_idx = 3
selected_embedding = text_embeddings[selected_embedding_idx:selected_embedding_idx + 1]
