QORA-Vision (Video) - Native Rust Video Classifier
Pure Rust video action classification engine based on ViViT. Classifies video clips into 400 action categories from Kinetics-400. No Python runtime, no CUDA, no external dependencies.

Key Design: Tubelet Embedding
Unlike image ViTs that use 2D patches, ViViT uses 3D tubelets — spatiotemporal volumes that capture both spatial and temporal information:

CLI Arguments
Flag
Default
Description
--model-path <path>
.
Path to model directory (safetensors)
--frames <dir>
-
Directory of 32 JPEG/PNG frames
--video <file>
-
Video file (extracts frames via ffmpeg)
--load <path>
-
Load binary (.qora-vision)
--save <path>
-
Save binary
--f16
off
Use F16 weights instead of Q4
Input Requirements
32 frames at 224x224 resolution
Frames are uniformly sampled from the video
Each frame: resize shortest edge to 224, center crop
Normalize: (pixel/255 - 0.5) / 0.5 = range [-1, 1]

Performance Notes
The forward pass time (~726s) is due to the large sequence length (3,137 tokens). Each attention layer computes a 3,137 x 3,137 attention matrix across 12 heads. This is expected for CPU-only inference of a video model — GPU acceleration would dramatically improve this.
