Description

Hello Team,

First and foremost, thank you for your incredible work.

I'm writing to inquire about the roadmap and any potential plans for applying these powerful **MAE pre-trained** models to downstream dense prediction tasks, specifically **semantic segmentation**.

Research direction

The issue requests support for using MAE-pretrained models for semantic segmentation, but it names no files, tests, entry points, or acceptance criteria. Start by locating the existing model and semantic-segmentation training paths, then define the required integration and validation before implementation. Done should include working MAE-backbone support and evidence that semantic segmentation training works.
