ResNet-50

We don't benchmark ResNet-50.

It is an open-weight model from Microsoft under the MIT license, and free for commercial use.

ResNet-50 Overview

ResNet-50 is a deep convolutional neural network architecture introduced in the 2015 paper "Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition" by Kaiming He, Xiangyu Zhang, Shaoqing Ren, and Jian Sun at Microsoft Research. It is part of the ResNet (Residual Network) family, which introduced residual connections — shortcut paths that allow gradients to bypass layers during training — solving the degradation problem that had previously limited the practical training of very deep networks. ResNet-50 specifically refers to a 50-layer variant with approximately 25.6 million parameters, structured as a sequence of bottleneck residual blocks consisting of 1×1, 3×3, and 1×1 convolutions.

ResNet-50 License

MIT · Permissive license

ResNet-50 is released under MIT, a permissive license. The ResNet-50 license lets you use, modify, and sell work built on the model, with the copyright notice as the only real obligation and no requirement to open-source related code changes.

Commercial use: Permitted with no separate commercial license. No usage caps, revenue thresholds, or field-of-use limits apply to ResNet-50.
Modification: Permitted. You can fine-tune or rewrite ResNet-50 and keep the result closed-source.
Redistribution: Permitted. Include the original copyright and permission notice in copies or substantial portions of the work.

MIT grants no explicit patent license and disclaims all warranties. If patent exposure is a concern for your deployment, review it with counsel before launch.
