We have support for [imagebind](https://github.com/facebookresearch/ImageBind) model embeddings. You can download our version of the packaged model via - `pip install imagebind-packaged==0.1.2`.

This function is registered as `imagebind` and supports Audio, Video and Text modalities(extending to Thermal,Depth,IMU data):

| Parameter   | Type   | Default Value      | Description                                                    |
| ----------- | ------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`      | `str`  | `"imagebind_huge"` | Name of the model.                                             |
| `device`    | `str`  | `"cpu"`            | The device to run the model on. Can be `"cpu"` or `"gpu"`.     |
| `normalize` | `bool` | `False`            | set to `True` to normalize your inputs before model ingestion. |

Below is an example demonstrating how the API works:

<CodeGroup>
  <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
    {PyEmbeddingImagebindSetup}
  </CodeBlock>
</CodeGroup>

Now, we can search using any modality:

#### image search

<CodeGroup>
  <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
    {PyEmbeddingImagebindImageSearch}
  </CodeBlock>
</CodeGroup>

#### audio search

<CodeGroup>
  <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
    {PyEmbeddingImagebindAudioSearch}
  </CodeBlock>
</CodeGroup>

#### Text search

You can add any input query and fetch the result as follows:

<CodeGroup>
  <CodeBlock filename="Python" language="Python" icon="python">
    {PyEmbeddingImagebindTextSearch}
  </CodeBlock>
</CodeGroup>
