# Big Transfer (BiT)

**Big Transfer (BiT)** is a type of pretraining recipe that pre-trains  on a large supervised source dataset, and fine-tunes the weights on the target task. Models are trained on the JFT-300M dataset. The finetuned models contained in this collection are finetuned on ImageNet.

## How do I train this model?

You can follow the [timm recipe scripts](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/scripts/) for training a new model afresh.
