Try a sample question
A ViT-L/14 model processes a 224×224 image. How many patch tokens does it produce and what is the spatial resolution of each patch?
A.256 tokens — a 16×16 grid of 14×14 pixel patches covering the 224px image after applying a 14px stride
B.196 tokens — a 14×14 grid of patches, but each patch is 14×14 pixels NOT 16×16, meaning 224/14=16 patches per side is incorrect
C.256 tokens — each patch is 14×14 pixels forming a 16×16 grid, but standard CLIP ViT-L/14 at 224px actually produces 196 tokens with 16×16 patches
D.196 tokens — the standard CLIP ViT-L/14 at 224px input produces a 14×14 spatial grid of patches where each patch covers a 16×16 pixel area, totaling 196 patch tokens passed to the transformer
