I’m glad you were able to resolve some of this.
But still have not figured out why resize to 224,224.
Other models such as the SigLip, for example, also resize to that size, though not exactly the same size, so perhaps the current model is designed for that level of resolution.
However, there are a lot of things I don’t understand, such as why it is necessary to reduce the resolution that much, and which one gives better results if it is stretching, padding, or cropping.
Well, I’m not mainly dealing with VLM or LLM, so I’m going to assume that as long as there are no problems with the operation, it’s fine.
