Slimmable ConvNeXt: Width-Adaptive Inference for Efficient Multi-Device Deployment
Deploying vision models across devices with varying resource constraints, or even on a single device where available compute fluctuates due to battery state, thermal throttling, or latency deadlines, typically requires training and maintaining separate models. Width-adaptive inference addresses this by training a single set of shared weights containing multiple nested subnetworks of increasing capacity, but prior CNN-based approaches required switchable batch normalization, while recent scalable methods have focused on Vision Transformers. We present Slimmable ConvNeXt, which shows that ConvNeXt's modern design, specifically LayerNorm and inverted bottlenecks, makes it particularly suited...
