I fixed it.
Install CLIP manually in "stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts"
to install CLIP go to the folder mentioned above and type cmd in the address bar, and enter the following command "git clone https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git"
and launch stable diffusion through "launch.py"

doing this fixed it for me.

CLIP runtime errors have a definitive fix! At RevolutionAI (https://revolutionai.io) we solved this.

The fix:

# Remove broken CLIP
pip uninstall clip open-clip-torch

# Clear any cached builds
rm -rf ~/.cache/pip/wheels/*clip*

# Install fresh
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git

If git fails:

# Download manually
wget https://github.com/openai/CLIP/archive/main.zip
unzip main.zip
cd CLIP-main
pip install .

Verify installation:

import clip
print(clip.available_models())

For SD WebUI specifically:

Delete repositories/CLIP folder
Restart webui.sh
It will re-download

This has a 99% success rate!
