# MLX Vision

A community org for model weights compatible with `mlxim` powered by MLX.

GitHub link: https://github.com/riccardomusmeci/mlx-image

These are weights converted from timm/torchvision and ready to be used.

## How to install

```
pip install mlx-image
```

## Models

To load a model with pre-trained weights:
```python
from mlxim.model import create_model

# loading weights from HuggingFace (https://huggingface.co./mlx-vision/resnet18-mlxim)
model = create_model("resnet18") # pretrained weights loaded from HF

# loading weights from another HuggingFace model
model = create_model("resnet18", weights="hf://repo_id/filename")

# loading weights from local file
model = create_model("resnet18", weights="path/to/resnet18/model.safetensors")
```

## ImageNet-1K Results

Go to https://github.com/riccardomusmeci/mlx-image/blob/main/results/results-imagenet-1k.csv to check every model converted and its performance on ImageNet-1K with different settings.

> **TL;DR** performance is comparable to the original models from PyTorch implementations.
