Learn how ViT works from the ground up, and fine-tune one on a real classification dataset.

CNNs process images through small sliding filters. Each filter only sees a tiny local region, and the model has to stack many layers before distant parts of an image can even talk to each other.

Vision Transformers threw that whole approach out.

ViT chops an image into patches, treats each patch like a token, and runs self-attention across the full sequence.
Every patch can attend to every other patch from the very first layer. No stacking required.

That global view from layer one is what made ViT surpass CNNs on large-scale benchmarks.

The Image below shows

Self-attention connects every pixel to every other pixel at once. Convolution only sees a small local window. That's why ViT captures things CNNs miss, like the optical illusion painting where distant patches form a hidden face.

The architecture is simple. Split image into patches, flatten them into embeddings (like words in a sentence), run them through a Transformer encoder, and the class token collects info from all patches for the final prediction. Patch in, class out.

Inside attention: each patch (query) compares itself to all other patches (keys), softmax gives attention weights, and the weighted sum of values produces a new representation aware of the full image, visualizes what the CLS token actually attends to through attention heatmaps.

The second half of the blog is hands-on code. I fine-tuned ViT-Base from google (86M params) on the Oxford-IIIT Pet dataset, 37 breeds, ~7,400 images.
