# ViT-Base (patch16-224) (ANEForge)

An unmodified duplicate of [`google/vit-base-patch16-224`](https://huggingface.co/google/vit-base-patch16-224), tagged for use with
[**ANEForge**](https://github.com/sbryngelson/ANEForge) so the weights load and run directly on the
Apple Neural Engine (no CoreML). Weights are byte-identical to the source; see the original repo for
the model details. Licensed `apache-2.0` from the source.

## Use with ANEForge

```python
import aneforge as af

vit = af.load_vit("aneforge/vit-base-patch16-224")
print(vit.classify(image))          # top-k (label, logit)
```

ANEForge compiles the model's graph into a single ANE program and streams the weights from this repo
via `huggingface_hub`. See the [docs](https://aneforge.readthedocs.io) and the
[paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.17090).
