mocov3-vitb16-pas-insects
MoCo-v3 ViT-B/16 backbone, self-supervised pretrained from scratch on the
PaS-I domain-specific dataset (Insects, ~1.9M images) generated by
the Precision at Scale pipeline.
Training data
Pretrained on jesusmolrdv/pas-i,
the Precision at Scale domain-specific dataset for this checkpoint.

Usage
This backbone is stored in plain timm
format (vit_base_patch16_224, num_classes=0), so it loads directly
through the timm Hugging Face Hub integration:
import timm
model = timm.create_model("hf_hub:jesusmolrdv/mocov3-vitb16-pas-insects", pretrained=True)
model.eval()
model outputs 768-d backbone features (no classification head attached).
