An Apple Core AI conversion of robbyant/lingbot-vision-vit-giant — a vision encoder (ViT backbone) that maps an image to normalized per-patch feature tokens, for dense downstream tasks (depth, segmentation, spatial perception). Produced by coreai-fabric and indexed by coreai-catalog.

Feature backbone, not an end task. This is a frozen encoder: it emits per-patch feature tokens, not depths / masks / labels. The host owns image preprocessing (resize to the static size, ImageNet mean/std) and any downstream head. Use the upstream repo for the preprocessing + task heads.

Use it — this needs host code you supply

The bundle is a single static-size graph: image [1,3,S,S] in → normalized patch_tokens [1, (S/16)^2, embed_dim] out. You supply the image preprocessing (resize to S, ImageNet normalize) and any downstream head in your host code (Swift or Python).

pip install coreai-catalog && coreai-catalog install lingbot-vision-vit-giant

Requirements

Deployment: macOS 27.0+ / iOS 27.0+, Xcode 27+. The asset serializes with minimum_os v27, so the on-device Swift runtime requires macOS/iOS 27+. A Mac on macOS 26 can convert and inspect it but not run it on-device.
Apple Silicon.

Verification (output parity)

Gate A (structure): passed — the bundle's layout + metadata were validated; the graph loads.
Gate B — graph_output_cosine: 1.000000 min output cosine (median 1.000000) vs the fp32 torch backbone over 8 seeded images, measured on apple_silicon. Certifies the export computes the SAME per-patch tokens as the source backbone — a conversion-fidelity metric, not task accuracy.
This certifies the export is numerically faithful to the source backbone — it does NOT certify downstream task accuracy. Reproduce with coreai-fabric verify.
