ViT-B/16 ImageNet (Google) — xaitalk mirror
This is a bit-identical mirror of the canonical artifact from Google Research.
The mirror exists only as a resilience fallback for the xaitalk library — the upstream remains authoritative. All credit and licensing for the model belong to the original authors.

How xaitalk loads this file
from xaitalk.hub import ensure_model
weights_path = ensure_model("vit-base-patch16-224")
# Tries the canonical upstream first; falls back to this xaitalk mirror
# automatically if upstream is unreachable.
Why mirror?
xaitalk's research-grade reproducibility claim relies on every weight file
being recoverable years from now. We mirror artifacts ≤ 2.5 GB under
xaitalk/*-mirror so the pipeline survives upstream URL changes, repo
renames, or deletions. Bit-level parity with the canonical is asserted in
CI via python -m xaitalk.hub verify-mirrors.
