# Convolutional Vision Transformer (CvT)

Convolutional Vision Transformer (CvT) 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.

> [!TIP]

The example below demonstrates how to classify an image with [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`] class.

<hfoption id="Pipeline">

```py
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="image-classification",
    model="microsoft/cvt-13",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0 
)
pipeline(images="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/pipeline-cat-chonk.jpeg")
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="AutoModel">

```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",
    torch_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("cuda")

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}")
```
