Hibou-B - a Foundational Vision Transformer for digital pathology pretrained on a private dataset using DINOv2 framework.

For more information and examples of usage visit [https://github.com/HistAI/hibou](https://github.com/HistAI/hibou) and read the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.05074).

Hibou-L is also available at [https://huggingface.co/histai/hibou-L](https://huggingface.co/histai/hibou-L).

Basic usage:
```python
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModel

processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("histai/hibou-b", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("histai/hibou-b", trust_remote_code=True)
```
We use a customized implementation of the DINOv2 architecture from the transformers library to add support for registers, which requires the `trust_remote_code=True` flag.
