## Usage

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torchvision import transforms, models
from PIL import Image

def build_model():
    model = models.mobilenet_v2(weights=None)
    model.classifier[1] = nn.Linear(1280, 2)
    return model

model_path = hf_hub_download("Firebleu/feral-ai", "model.pth")
model = build_model()
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(model_path, map_location="cpu"))
model.eval()

# Inference
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

img = Image.open("your_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
output = model(transform(img).unsqueeze(0))
label = ["cat", "dog"][output.argmax().item()]
print(f"Prediction: {label}")
```
