ZeroModels

📖 Introduction

ZeroModels is a collection of pretrained models built entirely in Keras 3. It spans a broad range of tasks, including image classification, object detection, segmentation, monocular depth estimation, feature extraction, vision-language modeling (VLMs), speech recognition, speech-aware language modeling, text encoding and masked language modeling, large language models (LLMs), text-to-text encoder-decoder modeling, multimodal vision-language generation, and more.
