From the model card
An EVA02 feature / representation model. Pretrained on ImageNet-22k with masked image modeling (using EVA-CLIP as a MIM teacher) by paper authors.
EVA-02 models are vision transformers with mean pooling, SwiGLU, Rotary Position Embeddings (ROPE), and extra LN in MLP (for Base & Large).
NOTE: timm checkpoints are float32 for consistency with other models. Original checkpoints are float16 or bfloat16 in some cases, see originals if that's preferred.
