ImageNet-1k linear probe on DINOv3 ViT-S+/16 at 512 px

A linear ImageNet-1k classifier on the CLS token of frozen DINOv3 ViT-S+/16 at 512 × 512 px, released with CanViT.

CanViT, the Canvas Vision Transformer, is an active-vision foundation model: it sees a scene through a sequence of glimpses and remembers it on a scene-wide canvas.

uv add "dinov3-in1k-probes @ git+https://github.com/m2b3/dinov3-in1k-probes.git" transformers pillow

import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModel
from dinov3_in1k_probes import DINOv3LinearClassificationHead

probe = DINOv3LinearClassificationHead.from_pretrained("canvit/dinov3-vits16plus-lvd1689m-in1k-512x512-linear-clf-probe").eval()
image = make_val_transform(512)(Image.open("scene.jpg").convert("RGB")).unsqueeze(0)  # [1, 3, 512, 512]
with torch.inference_mode():
    logits = probe(dinov3(pixel_values=image).last_hidden_state[:, 0])  # [1, 1000], from the CLS token
