Required Libraries

This model requires specific Python libraries:

torch==2.4.1+cu118
timm==0.4.12
torchvision==0.19.1+cu118

To use the model, please download the ViT implementation from vit.py

Note: if you are using this for downstream inference, adjust the num_classes based on the target dataset.
