Text-prompted image recognition on a $50 FPGA

@kazunori_279 said (in Japanese) he built multimodal image recognition that responds to any query text, such as "open hand" or "rolled towel," on a $50 FPGA board. He said everything was made by AI, from distilling a CLIP-style model an...

@kazunori_279 said (in Japanese) he built multimodal image recognition that responds to any query text, such as "open hand" or "rolled towel," on a $50 FPGA board. He said everything was made by AI, from distilling a CLIP-style model and int4 quantization to the FPGA circuit design, and that FPGA matrix math cut...
