# Convolutional Vision Transformer (CvT)

[Convolutional Vision Transformer (CvT)](https://huggingface.co/papers/2103.15808) is a model that combines the strengths of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Vision transformers for the computer vision tasks. It introduces convolutional layers into the vision transformer architecture, allowing it to capture local patterns in images while maintaining the global context provided by self-attention mechanisms.

You can find all the CvT checkpoints under the [Microsoft](https://huggingface.co/microsoft?search_models=cvt) organization.

    device=0
)
pipeline("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg")
```

```py
import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification, AutoImageProcessor

image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/cvt-13")
model = AutoModelForImageClassification.from_pretrained(
    "microsoft/cvt-13",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = image_processor(image, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
  logits = model(**inputs).logits
predicted_class_id = logits.argmax(dim=-1).item()

class_labels = model.config.id2label
predicted_class_label = class_labels[predicted_class_id]
print(f"The predicted class label is: {predicted_class_label}")
```

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [CvtModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/model_doc/cvt#transformers.CvtModel). It is used to instantiate a CvT model
according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the
defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the CvT
[microsoft/cvt-13](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/cvt-13) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import CvtConfig, CvtModel

>>> # Initializing a Cvt msft/cvt style configuration
>>> configuration = CvtConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model (with random weights) from the msft/cvt style configuration
>>> model = CvtModel(configuration)

>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

The bare Cvt Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various

The [CvtModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0rc1/en/model_doc/cvt#transformers.CvtModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

the latter silently ignores them.
