It can also be used as a backbone in building more complex models for specific use cases. This is based on the implementation of Beit found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/tree/master/beit). This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/beit) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary). Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device. ## Getting Started There are two ways to deploy this model on your device: ### Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment. | Runtime | Precision | Chipset | SDK Versions | Download | |---|---|---|---|---| | ONNX | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.37, ONNX Runtime 1.23.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/beit/releases/v0.46.0/beit-onnx-float.zip) | QNN_DLC | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.42 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/beit/releases/v0.46.0/beit-qnn_dlc-float.zip) | QNN_DLC | w8a16 | Universal | QAIRT 2.42 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/beit/releases/v0.46.0/beit-qnn_dlc-w8a16.zip) | TFLITE | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.42, TFLite 2.17.0 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/beit/releases/v0.46.0/beit-tflite-float.zip) For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit **[Beit on Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/beit)**. ### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/beit) Python library to compile and export the model with your own: - Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints) - Custom input shapes - Target device and runtime configurations This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here. See our repository for [Beit on GitHub](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/beit) for usage instructions. ## Model Details **Model Type:** Model_use_case.image_classification **Model Stats:** - Model checkpoint: Imagenet - Input resolution: 224x224 - Number of parameters: 92.0M - Model size (float): 351 MB ## Performance Summary | Model | Runtime | Precision | Chipset | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Primary Compute Unit |---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | Beit | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® X Elite | 14.768 ms | 186 - 186 MB | NPU | Beit | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 9.876 ms | 0 - 524 MB | NPU | Beit | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® QCS8550 (Proxy) | 13.457 ms | 0 - 194 MB | NPU | Beit | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® QCS9075 | 20.562 ms | 0 - 4 MB | NPU | Beit | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite For Galaxy Mobile | 7.167 ms | 1 - 447 MB | NPU | Beit | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 5.932 ms | 0 - 436 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® X Elite | 13.534 ms | 1 - 1 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 8.535 ms | 0 - 535 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® QCS8275 (Proxy) | 44.873 ms | 1 - 485 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® QCS8550 (Proxy) | 12.732 ms | 1 - 2 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8775P | 15.563 ms | 1 - 485 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® QCS9075 | 16.84 ms | 1 - 3 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® QCS8450 (Proxy) | 22.993 ms | 0 - 507 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA7255P | 44.873 ms | 1 - 485 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8295P | 19.001 ms | 1 - 468 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite For Galaxy Mobile | 7.003 ms | 1 - 478 MB | NPU | Beit | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 6.475 ms | 1 - 481 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 6.665 ms | 0 - 350 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® QCS8275 (Proxy) | 38.644 ms | 0 - 302 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® QCS8550 (Proxy) | 9.671 ms | 0 - 3 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8775P | 12.131 ms | 0 - 310 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® QCS9075 | 13.331 ms | 0 - 187 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® QCS8450 (Proxy) | 19.271 ms | 0 - 433 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA7255P | 38.644 ms | 0 - 302 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8295P | 16.047 ms | 0 - 410 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite For Galaxy Mobile | 4.824 ms | 0 - 302 MB | NPU | Beit | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 4.065 ms | 0 - 304 MB | NPU ## License * The license for the original implementation of Beit can be found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/main/LICENSE). ## References * [BEIT: BERT Pre-Training of Image Transformers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.08254) * [Source Model Implementation](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/tree/master/beit) ## Community * Join [our AI Hub Slack community](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/community/slack) to collaborate, post questions and learn more about on-device AI. * For questions or feedback please [reach out to us](mailto:ai-hub-support@qti.qualcomm.com).
