# Embedl Mobilevit Small (Quantized for TensorRT)
Deployable INT8-quantized version of [`apple/mobilevit-small`](https://huggingface.co/apple/mobilevit-small),
optimized with [embedl-deploy](https://github.com/embedl/embedl-deploy)
for low-latency NVIDIA TensorRT inference on edge GPUs.
## Upstream Model
## Highlights
- **Mixed-precision INT8/FP16 quantization** with hardware-aware
optimizations from [embedl-deploy](https://github.com/embedl/embedl-deploy).
- **Drop-in replacement** for `apple/mobilevit-small` in TensorRT pipelines —
same input shape (256×256), same output
semantics.
- **Validated accuracy** within 3.30 pp of the FP32
baseline on ImageNet (see Accuracy table below).
- **Quantization-aware training (QAT)** further recovers accuracy
lost in INT8 conversion by fine-tuning the model with simulated
quantization in the forward pass.
- **Matches the latency of `trtexec --best`** on supported NVIDIA
hardware while preserving INT8 accuracy (see Performance table
below).
- Includes both **ONNX** (for TensorRT) and **PT2**
(`torch.export`-loadable) artifacts plus runnable inference scripts.
## Quick Start
```bash
pip install huggingface_hub onnxruntime-gpu pillow numpy
python -c "from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download; snapshot_download('embedl/mobilevit-small-quantized', local_dir='.')"
python infer_trt.py --image path/to/image.jpg # TensorRT
# or
python infer_pt2.py --image path/to/image.jpg # pure PyTorch via torch.export
```
## Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `embedl_mobilevit_small_int8.onnx` | INT8-quantized ONNX with Q/DQ nodes — feed to TensorRT. |
| `embedl_mobilevit_small_int8.pt2` | INT8-quantized `torch.export` ExportedProgram. |
| `infer_trt.py` | Build a TRT engine from the ONNX and run sample inference. |
| `infer_pt2.py` | Load the `.pt2` with `torch.export.load` and run sample inference. |
## Performance
Latency measured with TensorRT + `trtexec`, GPU compute time only
(`--noDataTransfers`), CUDA Graph + Spin Wait enabled, clocks locked
(`nvpmodel -m 0 && jetson_clocks` on Jetson).
### NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin
| Configuration | Mean Latency | Speedup vs FP16 |
|---|---|---|
| TensorRT FP16 | 1.28 ms | 1.00x |
| TensorRT --best (unconstrained) | 1.09 ms | 1.17x |
| **Embedl Deploy INT8** | **1.09 ms** | **1.17x** |
## Accuracy
Evaluated on the ImageNet validation split. The quantized model
retains nearly all of the FP32 accuracy with a small tolerance.
| Model | Top-1 | Top-5 |
|---|---|---|
| `apple/mobilevit-small` FP32 (ours) | 78.14% | 94.08% |
| **Embedl Mobilevit Small INT8** | **74.83%** | **92.28%** |
