3/ A remarkable result: Monty achieves the same accuracy as a Vision Transformer while using 527 million times less computation, and it does so without suffering from catastrophic forgetting.

/4 Green AI is here: Monty slashes compute needs in training and inference, yet beats a pretrained, finetuned ViT on object and pose tasks. It used 33,888× fewer FLOPs than ViT trained from scratch and 527,000,000× fewer than a pretrained ViT.

/5 Monty learns continually with virtually no loss of accuracy as new objects are added to the model. Deep learning famously suffers from catastrophic forgetting in those settings.
