Request for ONNX Export Support for Blip Model in Optimum

[n9s8a]

Hi Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I've encountered an issue while attempting to export Blip model into the ONNX format using Optimum. I have used below command.

! optimum-cli export onnx -m Salesforce/blip-itm-base-coco --task feature-extraction blip_onnx

It appears that Optimum currently lacks support for this functionality, leading to errors during the export process.

ValueError: Trying to export a blip model, that is a custom or unsupported architecture, but no custom onnx configuration was passed as custom_onnx_configs. Please refer to https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/main/en/exporters/onnx/usage_guides/export_a_model#custom-export-of-transformers-models for an example on how to export custom models. Please open an issue at https://github.com/huggingface/optimum/issues if you would like the model type blip to be supported natively in the ONNX export

Could you kindly provide insights into when we might expect support for exporting Blip models to ONNX to be implemented in Optimum?

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to any updates or information you can provide on this matter.
