Get started with MedSigLIP
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
You can get started in 4 ways:
Run it locally
Download the model from Hugging
Face and run it locally.
This is the recommended option if you want to experiment with the model and
don't need to handle a high volume of data. Our GitHub repository includes a
notebook
that you can use to explore the model.
Deploy your own online service
MedSigLIP can be deployed as a highly available and scalable HTTPS endpoint on
Vertex AI. The easiest way is through
Model
Garden.
This option is ideal for production-grade, online applications with low latency,
high scalability and availability requirements. Refer to Vertex AI's service
level agreement (SLA) and pricing
model for online predictions.
Fine-tune MedSigLIP
MedSigLIP can be fine-tuned using your own medical data to optimize its
performance for your use cases. A sample
notebook
is available that you can adapt for your data and use case.
Launch a batch job
For larger dataset in a batch workflow, it's best to launch it as a Vertex AI
batch prediction
job.
Note that Vertex AI's SLA and pricing
model are different for batch
prediction jobs.
Refer to the "Get batch predictions" section in the Quick start with Model
Garden
notebook
to get started.
