Is this something that would be recommended if self-hosting off a Synology 920+ NAS?
My NAS does have extra ram to spare because I upgraded it, and has NVME cache 🤗

Oh, and if you haven’t changed from the default, please do. The results are phenomenal.

That’s a Celeron right? I’d try a better AI model. Check [this page]immich.app/docs/features/searching/) for the list. You could try the heaviest one. It’ll take a long time to process your library but I don’t know how much faster the inference is. Maybe it would be fast enough. If not usable, choose a lighter model. There’s execution times in the table that I assume tell us how heavy the models are.

Yup, the Intel J4125 Celeron 4-Core CPU, 2.0-2.7Ghz.
I switched to the ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli model, same as what you use. I don’t worry about processing time, but it looks like a more capable model, and I really only use immich for contextual search anyway, so that might be a nice upgrade.

What’s your consideration for choosing this one? I would have thought ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli to be slightly more accurate, with faster response and all that while keeping a slightly less RAM consumption.

Which model would you recommend? I just switched from ViT-B/32 to ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli since it seemed to be the most popular.

I switched to the same model. It’s absolutely spectacular. The only extra thing I did was to increase the concurrent job count for Smart Search and to give the model access to my GPU which sped up the initial scan at least an order of magnitude.

Seems to work really well. I can do obscure searches like Outer Wilds and it will pull up pictures I took from my phone of random gameplay movements, so it’s not doing any filename or metadata cheating there.
