A new timm release (1.0.11) is out now. A also wrote an article on one of the included models: https://huggingface.co/blog/rwightman/mambaout

Featured in the release are:
* The MambaOut model, a cheeky arch inspired by SSM but without the SSM part, a ConvNeXt with gating.
* Several timm trained MambaOut variations with arch tweaks and ImageNet-12k pretrain to verify scaling, supplement ported weights.
* The smallest MobileNetV4, a 0.5x width scaled Conv-Small.
* Two impressive MobileNetV3 Large models outperforming all previous, using MNV4 Small recipe.
* 'Zepto,' a new compact ConvNeXt variant even smaller than the previous Atto, 2.2M params, RMSNorm, and solid results for its size.
* Newly ported SigLIP SO400M/16 ViT multi-lingual weights, the largest i18n weights, prevous was B/16.
* Two ImageNet-1k fine-tuned SigLIP SO400M models at 378x378
* InternViT 300M weight port. A really solid ViT encoder distilled from OpenGVLab 6B VL model encoder.
* An assortment of very small, sub 1M param pretrained test models to improve library unit tests and serve low-resource applications.

A 'small' MobileNet-V4 update, I just pushed weights for the smallest model I've trained in the series, a 0.5 width multiplier version of the MobileNet-V4 Conv Small.

Now you may look at this and say hey, why is this impressive? 64.8% top-1 and 2.2M params? MobileNetV3-Small 0.75, and MobileNet-V2 0.5 are both fewer params (at ~2M) and over 65% top-1, what gives? Well this is where MobileNet-V4 differs from the previous versions of the model family, it trades off (gives up) a little parameter efficiency for some computational efficiency.

So, let's look at the speed. On a 4090 w/ torchcompile
* 98K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_small_050.e3000_r224_in1k
* 58K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv3_small_075.lamb_in1k
* 37K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv2_050.lamb_in1k

And there you go, if you have a need for speed, MNV4 is the better option.
