+ # ConvNeXt-Tiny
6
+
7
+ Run **ConvNeXt-Tiny** on Qualcomm NPU with [nexaSDK](https://sdk.nexa.ai).
8
+
9
+ ## Model Description
10
+ **ConvNeXt-Tiny** is a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) developed by Meta AI, designed to modernize traditional ConvNet architectures with design principles inspired by Vision Transformers (ViTs).
11
+ With around **28 million parameters**, it achieves competitive ImageNet performance while remaining efficient for on-device and edge inference.
12
+
13
+ ConvNeXt-Tiny brings transformer-like accuracy to a purely convolutional design — combining modern architectural updates with the efficiency of classical CNNs.
14
+
15
+ ## Features
16
+ - **High-accuracy Image Classification**: Pretrained on ImageNet-1K with strong top-1 accuracy.
17
+ - **Flexible Backbone**: Commonly used as a feature extractor for detection, segmentation, and multimodal systems.
18
+ - **Optimized for Efficiency**: Compact model size enables fast inference and low latency on CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs.
19
+ - **Modernized CNN Design**: Adopts ViT-inspired improvements such as layer normalization, larger kernels, and inverted bottlenecks.
20
+ - **Scalable Family**: Part of the ConvNeXt suite (Tiny, Small, Base, Large, XLarge) for different compute and accuracy trade-offs.
21
+
22
+ ## Use Cases
23
+ - Real-time image recognition on edge or mobile devices
24
+ - Vision backbone for multimodal and perception models
25
+ - Visual search, tagging, and recommendation systems
26
+ - Transfer learning and fine-tuning for domain-specific tasks
27
+ - Efficient deployment in production or research environments
28
+
29
+ ## Inputs and Outputs
30
+ **Input:**
31
+ - RGB image tensor (usually `3 × 224 × 224`)
32
+ - Normalized using ImageNet mean and standard deviation
33
+
34
+ **Output:**
35
+ - 1000-dimensional logits for ImageNet class probabilities
36
+ - Optional intermediate feature maps when used as a backbone
