The parameters of BIKE are smaller than the original CLIP ViT-L/14 is that in the BIKE model.

          The reason why the parameters of BIKE are smaller than the original CLIP ViT-L/14 is that in the BIKE model, we only utilize the vision encoder from CLIP and do not include the parameters of CLIP's text encoder.

In fact, the parameters of visual encoder is 303M for ViT-L/16, which excludes text encoder.
