# Image Classification — Gradio + Hugging Face

This Space wraps a pretrained image classifier (Vision Transformer) with a simple Gradio UI.

## How to use
1. Upload a photo (PNG/JPG).
2. Choose how many classes to display (Top‑K).
3. Click **Classify** to see the predicted labels with confidence scores.

### Model
- Default: `google/vit-base-patch16-224` (ImageNet‑1k)
- Alternatives that work on CPU Basic:
  - `microsoft/resnet-50`
  - `facebook/convnext-tiny-224`

> Notes: The classifier is trained on ImageNet‑1k; some objects (logos, memes, niche items) may not map cleanly to labels.
