FG-CLIP 2: A Bilingual Fine-grained Vision-language Alignment Model

Code: https://github.com/360CVGroup/FG-CLIP Project page: https://360cvgroup.github.io/FG-CLIP

FG-CLIP 2 is the foundation model for fine-grained vision-language understanding in both English and Chinese. Across 29 datasets and 8 diverse tasks, it consistently surpasses recent strong baselines such as SigLIP 2 and MetaCLIP 2, achieving the best reported performance to date in both languages.
