Your data is hierarchical.Your model should be too.

Deliver precise visual search for highly specific queries. hyper3-clip keeps hierarchy in the embedding space, helping rank the exact matches standard models miss.

Where exact matches get buried.

See how hyper3-clip and OpenAI-CLIP rank exact matches when hierarchy and fine-grained details matter.

hyper3-CLIP retrieves the exact velvet variant at #1. OpenAI-CLIP buries it at #20 and bleeds into dining chairs.

Why Geometry Matters

Standard models cram your data into a flat (Euclidean) space. This creates a fundamental mathematical mismatch:
  • Hierarchical data grows exponentially.
  • Euclidean space grows only polynomially.
  • The Mismatch: Flat models force exponential hierarchies into polynomial dimensions, crowding siblings together and causing retrieval failures like category bleed.
Hyperbolic space naturally expands exponentially, giving every variant room to breathe.

Public benchmarks against OpenAI-CLIP. hyper3-clip’s largest gains are on same-item, variant, and exact-match retrieval — the cases where catalog search usually breaks. Broad category retrieval is closer, with one coverage metric still favoring CLIP.

hyper3-CLIP

hyper3-clip is an image-text embedding model trained on a hyperbolic manifold, giving structured visual data more room than it gets in a flat embedding space.

HyperView

HyperView is an agent-native workbench for inspecting embedding spaces, curating datasets, and understanding why retrieval results fail.

Get a 48-hour retrieval eval.

Send a small sample of your images and queries. We run hyper3-clip against your current baseline and return a short report within 48 hours: metrics, ranked examples, and whether a pilot is worth it. No discovery call required.
