# ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## Imagenet classifier and general purpose backbone

ConvNextTiny is a machine learning model that can classify images from the Imagenet dataset. It can also be used as a backbone in building more complex models for specific use cases.

This model is an implementation of ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/main/torchvision/models/convnext.py).
This repository provides scripts to run ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized on Qualcomm® devices.
More details on model performance across various devices, can be found
[here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized).


### Model Details

- **Model Type:** Image classification
- **Model Stats:**
  - Model checkpoint: Imagenet
  - Input resolution: 224x224
  - Number of parameters: 28.6M
  - Model size: 28 MB
  - Precision: w8a16 (8-bit weights, 16-bit activations)




| Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Precision | Primary Compute Unit | Target Model
| ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13) | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 | QNN Model Library | 3.116 ms | 0 - 112 MB | INT8 | NPU |  [ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized.so](https://huggingface.co/qualcomm/ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized/blob/main/ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized.so) 



## Installation

This model can be installed as a Python package via pip.

```bash
pip install "qai-hub-models[convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized]"
```



## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub to run this model on a cloud-hosted device

Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/) with your
Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in navigate to `Account -> Settings -> API Token`.

With this API token, you can configure your client to run models on the cloud
hosted devices.
```bash
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
```
Navigate to [docs](https://app.aihub.qualcomm.com/docs/) for more information.



## Demo off target

The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained
weights and runs this model on a sample input.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized.demo
```

The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model
inference, and post processing.

**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized.demo
```


### Run model on a cloud-hosted device

In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm®
device. This script does the following:
* Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
* Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
* Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized.export
```

```
Profile Job summary of ConvNext-Tiny-w8a16-Quantized
--------------------------------------------------
Device: SA8255 (Proxy) (13)
Estimated Inference Time: 3.12 ms
Estimated Peak Memory Range: 0.02-112.60 MB
Compute Units: NPU (215) | Total (215)


```




## Run demo on a cloud-hosted device

You can also run the demo on-device.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized.demo --on-device
```

**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.convnext_tiny_w8a16_quantized.demo -- --on-device
```


## Deploying compiled model to Android


The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
  tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
  guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.


- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
  app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library  in an Android application.
