# RegNet: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

RegNet is a machine learning model that can classify images from the Imagenet dataset. It can also be used as a backbone in building more complex models for specific use cases.

This is based on the implementation of RegNet found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/main/torchvision/models/regnet.py).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/regnet) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

## Getting Started
There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

### Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment.

| Runtime | Precision | Chipset | SDK Versions | Download |

### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/regnet) Python library to compile and export the model with your own:
- Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
- Custom input shapes
- Target device and runtime configurations

This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.

See our repository for [RegNet on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/regnet) for usage instructions.
