BEiT: image classification with Transformers

This page is the Transformers contract of the BEiT MIC and also a usage example. doc-builder renders the runnable blocks below as documentation, and its pytest plugin runs them as written against microsoft/beit-base-patch16-224. The MIC runner runs the same blocks against each slim fixture and each checkpoint in integration.json. Lines marked # doc-builder: hide only matter there: they swap in the pinned checkpoint or variant and print the result record.

Predict the class of an image
