## Model Usage

### Image Embeddings
```python
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

# get example histology image
img = Image.open(
  urlopen(
    "https://github.com/owkin/HistoSSLscaling/raw/main/assets/example.tif"
  )
)

# load model from the hub
model = timm.create_model(
  model_name="hf-hub:1aurent/vit_base_patch16_224.owkin_pancancer",
  pretrained=True,
).eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # output is (batch_size, num_features) shaped tensor
```
