This is based on the implementation of NASNet found [here](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/tree/main). 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/v0.59.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/nasnet) 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 | |---|---|---|---|---| | ONNX | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.45, ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/nasnet/releases/v0.59.0/nasnet-onnx-float.zip) | QNN_DLC | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.45 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/nasnet/releases/v0.59.0/nasnet-qnn_dlc-float.zip) | TFLITE | float | Universal | QAIRT 2.45 | [Download](https://qaihub-public-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/qai-hub-models/models/nasnet/releases/v0.59.0/nasnet-tflite-float.zip) For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit **[NASNet on Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/nasnet)**. ### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.59.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/nasnet) 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 [NASNet on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.59.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/nasnet) for usage instructions. ## Model Details **Model Type:** Model_use_case.image_classification **Model Stats:** - Model checkpoint: nasnetalarge.tf_in1k - Input resolution: 224x224 - GMACs: 5.9 - Activations (M): 19.4 - Number of parameters: 88.7M - Model size (float): 338 MB ## Performance Summary | Model | Runtime | Precision | Chipset | Inference Time (ms) | Peak Memory Range (MB) | Primary Compute Unit |---|---|---|---|---|---|--- | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® X2 Elite | 9.635 ms | 1 - 1 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® X Elite | 18.905 ms | 189 - 189 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 14.121 ms | 1 - 571 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 Mobile | 52.409 ms | 2 - 519 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8550 (Proxy) | 18.849 ms | 0 - 194 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® QCS8450 | 52.409 ms | 2 - 519 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 | 27.065 ms | 1 - 5 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-X7181 | 18.905 ms | 189 - 189 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ Q-8750 | 11.649 ms | 1 - 405 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile | 11.649 ms | 1 - 405 MB | NPU | NASNet | ONNX | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 9.506 ms | 0 - 415 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® X2 Elite | 8.868 ms | 1 - 1 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® X Elite | 16.828 ms | 1 - 1 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 12.314 ms | 0 - 516 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 Mobile | 48.435 ms | 0 - 475 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8275 | 89.202 ms | 2 - 351 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8550 (Proxy) | 16.219 ms | 1 - 4 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8775P | 24.393 ms | 1 - 354 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8650P | 24.393 ms | 1 - 354 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8255P | 24.393 ms | 1 - 354 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® QCS8450 | 48.435 ms | 0 - 475 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 | 24.257 ms | 1 - 4 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-X7181 | 16.828 ms | 1 - 1 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ Q-8750 | 9.824 ms | 1 - 352 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA7255P | 89.202 ms | 2 - 351 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Qualcomm® SA8295P | 38.659 ms | 1 - 310 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile | 9.824 ms | 1 - 352 MB | NPU | NASNet | QNN_DLC | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 7.816 ms | 0 - 370 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile | 12.71 ms | 0 - 695 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 Mobile | 49.651 ms | 0 - 653 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8275 | 89.633 ms | 0 - 539 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8550 (Proxy) | 16.666 ms | 0 - 3 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8775P | 24.747 ms | 0 - 537 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8650P | 24.747 ms | 0 - 537 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8255P | 24.747 ms | 0 - 537 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® QCS8450 | 49.651 ms | 0 - 653 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 | 25.177 ms | 0 - 192 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ Q-8750 | 10.295 ms | 0 - 539 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA7255P | 89.633 ms | 0 - 539 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Qualcomm® SA8295P | 40.084 ms | 0 - 486 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile | 10.295 ms | 0 - 539 MB | NPU | NASNet | TFLITE | float | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile | 8.229 ms | 0 - 549 MB | NPU ## License * The license for the original implementation of NASNet can be found [here](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models?tab=Apache-2.0-1-ov-file). ## References * [Learning Transferable Architectures for Scalable Image Recognition](https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07012) * [Source Model Implementation](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/tree/main) ## Community * Join [our AI Hub Slack community](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/community/slack) to collaborate, post questions and learn more about on-device AI. * For questions or feedback please [reach out to us](mailto:ai-hub-support@qti.qualcomm.com).
