Vit Large Patch16 Siglip Gap 256.v2 Webli

🚀 vit_large_patch16_siglip_gap_256.v2_webli

A SigLIP 2 ViT (image encoder only) for timm, equivalent to the image tower from https://huggingface.co/timm/ViT-L-16-SigLIP2-256. The gap variant uses global average pooling and removes the attention pooling head.

🚀 Quick Start

This is a SigLIP 2 ViT image encoder designed for timm. It's equivalent to the image tower from the specified Hugging Face model. The gap variant has a specific pooling mechanism.
