How it works
Variants
Open weights ship in several sizes and precisions. One page, all the variants — pick the one that fits your GPU. VRAM figures are estimates from model size.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys vit-large-patch16-224-mae for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (vit-large-patch16-224-mae below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"vit-large-patch16-224-mae","input":"text to embed"}'
Licence
The weights are open but cc-by-nc-4.0 needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
