Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the validation split of ImageNet-1K, focusing specifically on peak inference throughput measured in images per second.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet-1K (val) |
| Metric | Peak Throughput (images/s) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 9 of 9 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Peak Throughput (images/s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-imagenet-1k-val-peak-throughput.md?metric=Peak%20Throughput%20(images%2Fs)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
