We launch EVA, a vision-centric foundation model to Explore the limits of Visual representation at scAle using only publicly accessible data and academic resources. EVA is a vanilla ViT pre-trained to reconstruct the masked out image-text aligned vision features (i.e., CLIP features) conditioned on visible image patches. Via this pretext task, we can efficiently scale up EVA to one billion parameters, and sets new records on a broad range of representative vision downstream tasks.

EVA is the first open-sourced billion-scale vision foundation model that achieves state-of-the-art performance on a broad range of downstream tasks.

Image Classification

We provide all pre-trained & fine-tuned EVAs for the community. The following table summarizes the basic statistics of MIM pre-trained EVA and image classification EVA.

model name	#param.	pre-training epochs on merged-30M	intermeidate fine-tuning epochs on IN-21K	fine-tuning epochs on IN-1K	IN-1K top-1 acc.	weight

`eva_psz14to16`	1.0B	150	-	-	-	🤗 HF link (`2GB`)

`eva_21k_1k_560px_psz14_ema`	1.0B	150	60	15	89.7	🤗 HF link (`4GB`)

eva_psz14to16 model interpolates the kernel size of patch_embed from 14x14 to 16x16. This is useful for object detection, instance segmentation & semantic segmentation, etc. See interpolate_patch_14to16.py for implementation details.
For MIM pre-trained EVA and EVA-CLIP, we use deepspeed fp16 format. IN-1K fine-tuned EVA weights are larger (4GB v.s. 2GB) because ema updates models with fp32 format. The weights of other downstream tasks are also with fp32 format.

The ImageNet-1K zero-shot classification performance is higher than our paper (78.5 v.s. 78.2) because of longer training.

We choose to train a 1.3B CLIP model, not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Please refer to this note for a glance of the challenges in training very large CLIP.

To our knowledge, EVA-CLIP is the largest performant open-sourced CLIP model evaluated via zero-shot classification performance. We will updates the results in our paper soon. For more details of EVA-CLIP, please refer to Section 2.3.5 of our paper.

We hope open-sourcing EVA-CLIP can facilitate future research in multi-modal learning, representation leaning, AIGC, etc.
