MobileNetV4
MobileNetV4 is an image classifier built for mobile and edge hardware, using the Universal Inverted Bottleneck block to unify several prior mobile block designs into one searchable structure. LibreYOLO supports it for one task: classification.
- Tasks
- classify
- Sizes
- s, m, l at 224 to 256 px
- Install
pip install libreyolo- Support tier
- Supported, since v. Supporting trainables: kept green in CI, features land opportunistically.
- Licenses
- Code Apache-2.0, weights Apache-2.0. Commercial use
Install
MobileNetV4 needs no optional extra. Everything it imports is in the base install.
pip install libreyoloPredict
Weights download from Hugging Face on first use and are cached locally.
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO, SAMPLE_IMAGE model = LibreYOLO("LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt")result = model(SAMPLE_IMAGE, save=True) print(result.probs.top1, result.probs.top1conf)print(result.probs.top5)libreyolo predict model=LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt source=cat.jpg save=TrueThe returned Results object is the one every family returns, so swapping in
a different model is a one line change. A classifier carries no boxes or
masks: result.probs holds the whole-image prediction, with top1, top5,
top1conf and top5conf. conf, iou and max_det are accepted for API
parity but have no effect, since there is nothing to threshold or suppress on
a single probability vector. See prediction for sources,
streaming and result handling.
Variants
Three sizes, small/medium/large, all conv-only: this family excludes the
hybrid variants that add Mobile MQA attention. Picking a size is a straight
parameter-count-for-accuracy trade. The task is fixed: every size covers
classification only. The weights filename ends -cls.pt on every size, and
that suffix is what the factory reads to route to this family; no task=
argument is needed.
Train
Fine-tuning starts from the published ImageNet backbone and rebuilds the final classifier layer to the target dataset's class count automatically.
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO model = LibreYOLO("LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt")model.train(data="imagenette160", epochs=5)libreyolo train model=LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt data=imagenette160 epochs=5libreyolo train model=LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt data=imagenette160 \ epochs=50 device=0,1 batch=-1Left alone, the trainer runs 100 epochs at lr0=1e-3 with AdamW, a batch of
64 and early stopping after 50 epochs without improvement. data accepts a
dataset root (train/ and val/, one folder per class), a known short name
such as imagenette160, or a .zip URL. lora=True is not supported here;
passing it raises, since LoRA in LibreYOLO targets transformer components
with nn.Linear layers and this family's UIB blocks have none.
See training for datasets, augmentation, multi-GPU and loggers.
Validate
val() returns a dictionary of metrics/ keys. For classification that is
top-1 and top-5 accuracy over the validation split.
from libreyolo import LibreYOLO model = LibreYOLO("LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt")metrics = model.val(data="imagenette160") print(metrics["metrics/accuracy_top1"])print(metrics["metrics/accuracy_top5"])libreyolo val model=LibreMobileNetV4s-cls.pt data=imagenette160Export

An exported artifact loads back through LibreYOLO() on its file suffix, so
a .onnx or .engine file behaves like a checkpoint and returns the same
Results. Export lists the arguments every format accepts
and the extras a few of them add.

Licensing
Check the license on the Hugging Face repository of the specific weights you download. Every checkpoint in the LibreYOLO org carries one, and they are not always the same across a family. That repository is the authoritative source; the summary below describes what applied when this page was last verified.
This is a description of the licenses involved, not legal advice. If the answer matters commercially, read the licenses yourself and take your own counsel.

- Interpretation
- Apache-2.0 is a permissive license, so these weights can be used in commercial and closed-source products. It asks you to keep its license text and attribution notices with any copy of the weights you redistribute, and it grants a patent license. It places no obligation on your own application code, and weights you train yourself on your own data are yours. The architecture is Google's design, whose official code lives in the tensorflow/models repository; LibreYOLO's implementation follows the conv-only MobileNetV4 (small/medium/large) block definitions, channel rounding and naming in timm, whose mobilenetv4_conv_{small,medium,large} ImageNet-1k weights are licensed Apache-2.0 and are what LibreYOLO ships. The hybrid variants, which add Mobile MQA attention, are not part of this family.
