...Its key idea is a specialized distillation strategy—including a learnable “distillation token”—that lets a transformer learn effectively from a CNN or transformer teacher on modest-scale datasets. The project provides compact ViT variants (Tiny/Small/Base) that achieve excellent accuracy–throughput trade-offs, making transformers practical beyond massive pretraining regimes. Training involves carefully tuned augmentations, regularization, and optimization schedules to stabilize learning and improve sample efficiency. The repo offers pretrained checkpoints, reference scripts, and ablation studies that clarify which ingredients matter most for data-efficient ViT training.

Janus is a sophisticated open-source project from DeepSeek AI that aims to unify both visual understanding and image generation in a single model architecture. Rather than having separate systems for “look and describe” and “prompt and generate”, Janus uses an autoregressive transformer framework with a decoupled visual encoder—allowing it to ingest images for comprehension and to produce images from text prompts with shared internal representations. The design tackles long-standing...

ConvNeXt V2 is an evolution of the ConvNeXt architecture that co-designs convolutional networks alongside self-supervised learning. The V2 version introduces a fully convolutional masked autoencoder (FCMAE) framework where parts of the image are masked and the network reconstructs the missing content, marrying convolutional inductive bias with powerful pretraining. A key innovation is a new Global Response Normalization (GRN) layer added to the ConvNeXt backbone, which enhances feature...
