SepViT: Separable Vision Transformer

Vision Transformers have witnessed prevailing success in a series of vision tasks. However, these Transformers often rely on extensive computational costs to achieve high performance, which is burdensome to deploy on resource-constrained devices. To alleviate this issue, we draw lessons from depthwise separable convolution and imitate its ideology to design an efficient Transformer backbone, i.e., Separable Vision Transformer, abbreviated as SepViT. SepViT helps to carry out the local-global information interaction within and among the windows in sequential order via a depthwise separable self-attention. The novel window token embedding and grouped self-attention are employed to compute the attention relationship among windows with negligible cost and establish long-range visual interactions across multiple windows, respectively. Extensive experiments on general-purpose vision benchmarks demonstrate that SepViT can achieve a state-of-the-art trade-off between performance and latency. Among them, SepViT achieves 84.2% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet-1K classification while decreasing the latency by 40%, compared to the ones with similar accuracy (e.g., CSWin). Furthermore, SepViT achieves 51.0% mIoU on ADE20K semantic segmentation task, 47.9 AP on the RetinaNet-based COCO detection task, 49.4 box AP and 44.6 mask AP on Mask R-CNN-based COCO object detection and instance segmentation tasks.

Code
Syntology Ran 2 of 2 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 0 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · honoured contract; 1 ran · violated contract.
By repository: community (archive-listed): 1 sample from 1 repository, 1 ran; 1 identical to code first harvested elsewhere. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.
Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.
Code Syntology ran Syntology
2 samples harvested; 2 ran; 1 honoured the contract we drafted; 0 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-24; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.
Licence: 1 of the 2 samples is pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.
Harvested from lucidrains/vit-pytorch. Some samples are identical code Syntology first harvested from another repository; for those, this paper's copy is not located and its licence is not recorded. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.
Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.
Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
