What is Laion?
LAION is a non‑profit organization that supplies open, free datasets and models for machine‑learning research.
Its flagship datasets include LAION‑400M, a collection of 400 million English image‑text pairs, and LAION‑5B, a multilingual dataset with 5.
85 billion CLIP‑filtered image‑text pairs.
The LAION‑Aesthetics subset offers images scored by an aesthetics model for visual‑quality studies.
Researchers can download the largest open CLIP vision transformer, Clip H/14, for contrastive language‑image pre‑training tasks.
