Run MobileViT with Keras 3: JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow

zeromodels/mobilevit_xxs_cvnets_in1k

Paper: MobileViT: Light-weight, General-purpose, and Mobile-friendly Vision Transformer (arXiv:2110.02178) · HF Papers

MobileViT interleaves MobileNetV2 blocks with small transformers for mobile ImageNet classification (256). For Pascal VOC DeepLabV3 segmentation (512), use update_mobilevit_deeplabv3_model_cards.py.

For more details on the model, please go to the upstream model card.

Pure-Keras 3 conversion of timm/mobilevit_xxs.cvnets_in1k for zeromodels. One implementation runs unmodified on TensorFlow / Torch / JAX.

This is an image-classification / backbone checkpoint (MobileViTImageClassify / MobileViTModel).

✨ Quick start

import os

os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "torch"  # or "jax" / "tensorflow"

from PIL import Image
from zeromodels.models.mobilevit import MobileViTImageClassify, MobileViTModel, MobileViTImageProcessor

model = MobileViTImageClassify.from_weights("zeromodels/mobilevit_xxs_cvnets_in1k")
processor = MobileViTImageProcessor.from_weights("zeromodels/mobilevit_xxs_cvnets_in1k")

image = Image.open("your_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
pixels = processor(image)  # resize + normalize (normalization lives in the processor)
logits = model(pixels, training=False)
print(logits.shape)  # (1, num_classes)

# Feature extraction: the backbone without the classifier head
backbone = MobileViTModel.from_weights("zeromodels/mobilevit_xxs_cvnets_in1k", as_backbone=True)
features = backbone(pixels, training=False)

Load any MobileViT variant the same way with from_weights("zeromodels/<variant>"):

Tips

• Set KERAS_BACKEND before importing Keras / zeromodels.
• MobileViTImageClassify returns class logits; MobileViTModel returns features (as_backbone=True for multi-scale stages).
• See docs and Loading Weights.
• Upstream / timm checkpoints: MobileViTImageClassify.from_weights("hf:timm/mobilevit_xxs.cvnets_in1k").

Special Thanks

A huge thank you to the MobileViT authors and the timm / Hub communities for creating and releasing these models.
