Iwin Transformer (small, ImageNet-1K, 224×224)

Position-embedding-free hierarchical vision transformer. Paper: arXiv:2507.18405. All checkpoints: Iwin Transformer collection.

Usage

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModelForImageClassification

ckpt = "cominder/iwin-small-patch4-window7-224"
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(ckpt)
model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained(ckpt, trust_remote_code=True)
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
print(model.config.id2label[model(**inputs).logits.argmax(-1).item()])

trust_remote_code=True is required because Iwin is not in the Transformers core library yet. Training and evaluation code: Cominder/Iwin-Transformer.

Reported ImageNet-1K top-1: 83.4. The snippet resizes directly to 224.
