OpenClip is an source implementation of OpenAI’s CLIP. These multi-modal embeddings can be used to embed images or text. 
%pip install -qU  langchain-experimental

%pip install -qU  pillow open_clip_torch torch matplotlib
We can the list of available CLIP embedding models and checkpoints: 
import open_clip

open_clip.list_pretrained()
Below, I test a larger but more performant model based on the table (here): 
model_name = "ViT-g-14"
checkpoint = "laion2b_s34b_b88k"
But, you can also opt for a smaller, less performant model: 
model_name = "ViT-B-32"
checkpoint = "laion2b_s34b_b79k"
The model model_name,checkpoint are set in langchain_experimental.open_clip.py. For text, use the same method embed_documents as with other embedding models. For images, use embed_image and simply pass a list of uris for the images. 
import numpy as np
from langchain_experimental.open_clip import OpenCLIPEmbeddings
from PIL import Image

# Image URIs
uri_dog = "/Users/rlm/Desktop/test/dog.jpg"
uri_house = "/Users/rlm/Desktop/test/house.jpg"

# Embe images or text
clip_embd = OpenCLIPEmbeddings(model_name="ViT-g-14", checkpoint="laion2b_s34b_b88k")
img_feat_dog = clip_embd.embed_image([uri_dog])
img_feat_house = clip_embd.embed_image([uri_house])
text_feat_dog = clip_embd.embed_documents(["dog"])
text_feat_house = clip_embd.embed_documents(["house"])
