alexnet_imagenet1k_4096
alexnet_imagenet1k_4096 is a light image embedding model for fast first-pass visual grouping in EIDORA. Choose it when you want a small, classic baseline that runs comfortably on ordinary laptops.
Best For
- Fast baseline visual grouping.
- Small or exploratory image projects on ordinary laptops.
- Regression testing the EIDORA ONNX package pipeline.
Not Ideal For
- Fine-grained visual similarity where modern self-supervised models perform better.
- Text, video, or audio inputs.
- Production-quality semantic image retrieval when a stronger model is acceptable.
Compute Tier
Light: small download, low memory, faster CPU runtime. Intended for laptop CPU use and large first-pass projects.
Inputs
image: required image input from media_source.
Output
The primary output is embedding, a float32 tensor shaped [batch, 4096]. Embeddings are already normalized and are intended for cosine similarity.
Usage In EIDORA
EIDORA shows this package as a light image embedding model in the Model Zoo. Use it for discovery maps, grouping, retrieval, and related embedding workflows.
Usage Examples
Download the complete package from Hugging Face and keep the generated files together:
1from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
2
3package_dir = snapshot_download("eidora/alexnet_imagenet1k_4096")
4# EIDORA reads config.yaml, README.md, and model.onnx from this folder.
Preprocessing
image: rescale uses 1/255; normalize inside the ONNX graph with mean [0.485, 0.456, 0.406] and std [0.229, 0.224, 0.225].
Authorship And Citation
This ONNX package was produced by EIDORA from the original AlexNet ImageNet model. EIDORA converted the model to ONNX and is not the original model creator. Please cite ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and the original model repository when using this converted model.

Training Data And Provenance
Base model:
torchvision/alexnet-imagenet1k-v1. Source repository:
https://pytorch.org/vision/stable/models/generated/torchvision.models.alexnet.html. Known training data: ImageNet-1K supervised classification data. Package payload size: 228020495 bytes.
Evaluation And Validation
The package validation checks that the ONNX graph loads with ONNX Runtime CPU execution, runs the declared fixtures, returns finite float32 embeddings with the declared shape, and matches the artifact hash recorded in eidora-model.yaml.
Limitations And Safety
AlexNet is an older supervised ImageNet model. It is useful as a lightweight baseline, but modern CLIP, DINOv2, SigLIP, or domain-specific models will usually produce stronger semantic similarity.
