  # CLIP-Spanish
  
  CLIP Spanish is a CLIP-like model for Spanish language. It is composed of [BERTIN](https://huggingface.co/bertin-project/bertin-roberta-base-spanish) as a language encoder and the ViT-B/32 image encoder from [CLIP](https://huggingface.co/openai/clip-vit-base-patch32). The model is implemented in [Flax](https://github.com/google/flax), including training scripts (see `training.md`).
  This is part of the [Flax/Jax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), organised by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and TPU usage sponsored by Google.
  
  ## Spanish WIT
  
  We used a subset of 141,230 Spanish captions from the [WIT dataset](https://github.com/google-research-datasets/wit) for training.
