# BLIP-2: Vision-Language Pre-training
Comprehensive guide to using Salesforce's BLIP-2 for vision-language tasks with frozen image encoders and large language models.
## When to use BLIP-2
**Use BLIP-2 when:**
- Need high-quality image captioning with natural descriptions
- Building visual question answering (VQA) systems
- Require zero-shot image-text understanding without task-specific training
- Want to leverage LLM reasoning for visual tasks
- Building multimodal conversational AI
- Need image-text retrieval or matching
