PlumaDINO-vits16plus-preview

by YX yxsi/PlumaDINO-vits16plus-preview

PlumaDINO-vits16plus-preview is an open-weight model for image classification from YX, released under other. It has 38M parameters. At 16-bit it needs about 0.1 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 12 downloads a month.

PlumaDINO-vits16plus-preview is an independently fine-tuned image classifier for living bird species, built on the distilled DINOv3 ViT-S+/16 backbone. This preview supports aspect-ratio-preserving inputs and loads directly with Transformers.

Model Card

PlumaDINO-vits16plus-preview is an independently fine-tuned image classifier for living bird species, built on the distilled DINOv3 ViT-S+/16 backbone. This preview supports aspect-ratio-preserving inputs and loads directly with Transformers. Install the dependencies in requirements.txt in your own environment. Run this example from the parent of the downloaded model folder. It uses CPU; set device = "cuda" to use a GPU. After publication, a Hub repository ID may replace the local folder path. For an offline local copy, pass localfilesonly=True to both loaders. AutoModel.frompretrained(..., trustremotecode=True) also loads the classifier. The folder includes the custom inference code; a…

ConvNeXt V2 model pretrained using the FCMAE framework and fine-tuned on the ImageNet-22K dataset at resolution 224x224. It was introduced in the paper ConvNeXt V2: Co-designing and Scaling ConvNets with Masked Autoencoders by Woo et al. and first released in this repository. Disclaimer: The team releasing ConvNeXT V2 did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. ConvNeXt V2 is a pure convolutional model (ConvNet) that introduces a fully convolutional masked autoencoder framework (FCMAE) and a new Global Response Normalization (GRN) layer to ConvNeXt. ConvNeXt V2 significantly improves the performance of pure ConvNets on various…
