Unable to Connect to https://knn.laion.ai/knn-service (Connection Timeout) #402
Description
Description
Hello,
I am trying to use the KNN service from https://knn.laion.ai/knn-service following the instructions provided in the project’s README. However, I consistently encounter a connection timeout error when making a query request.
Below is the code snippet I am using:
from clip_retrieval.clip_client import ClipClient, Modality
client = ClipClient(url="https://knn.laion.ai/knn-service", indice_name="laion5B-L-14")
results = client.query(text="an image of a cat")
print(results)

Question
Is the public endpoint https://knn.laion.ai/knn-service currently down or deprecated?
If so, could you please advise if there is an alternative public endpoint or a recommended approach for running the KNN service locally?
