How ConvNeXt Proves Classic AI Models Can Still Beat Transformers

ConvNeXt rethinks convolutional neural networks by modernizing ResNet with Transformer-inspired design choices. The result is a pure ConvNet that matches or beats Vision Transformers like Swin on ImageNet, COCO detection, and ADE20K segmentation. Achieving up to 87.8% top-1 accuracy, ConvNeXt proves...
