What CLIP Machine Learning Model can I use for Immich?

submitted by edited

I'm currently running my Immich server on a mini PC with proxmox

It's got 3x N97 CPU cores available to it and 7gb of ram
It's using the default ViT-B-32__openai model, I was wondering if I can use a more powerful model, but I'm not sure which one or if I should enable hardware acceleration etc.

This is my yaml file

  immich-machine-learning:  
    container_name: immich_machine_learning  
    # For hardware acceleration, add one of -[armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, rknn] to the image tag.  
    # Example tag: ${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}-cuda  
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}  
    # extends: # uncomment this section for hardware acceleration - see https://immich.app/docs/features/ml-hardware-acceleration  
    #   file: hwaccel.ml.yml  
    #   service: cpu # set to one of [armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, openvino-wsl, rknn] for accelerated inference - use the `-wsl` version for WSL2 where applicable  
    volumes:  
      - immich-model-cache:/cache  
    env_file:  
      - stack.env  
    restart: always  
    healthcheck:  
      disable: false  

I looked at the docs but it's a bit confusing so that's why I'm here.

They have a list here of the models with performance and RAM usage data: https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/

You kind of just have to pick one, try it, and see if it crashes from low memory.

Also enable OpenVINO HWaccel, because it will be extremely slow otherwise.


OpenVino is about your only option here. It is not super efficient and will increase system load during those jobs.
