+# Using pre-trained models in MXNet
+
+In this tutorial we will see how to use multiple pre-trained models with Apache MXNet. First, let's download three images classification models from the Apache MXNet [Gluon model zoo](https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/api/python/gluon/model_zoo.html).
+* **DenseNet-121** ([research paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06993)), improved state of the art on [ImageNet dataset](http://image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC) in 2016.
+* **MobileNet** ([research paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.04861)), MobileNets are based on a streamlined architecture that uses depth-wise separable convolutions to build light weight deep neural networks, suitable for mobile applications.
+* **ResNet-18** ([research paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385v1)), the -152 version is the 2015 winner in multiple categories.
+
+Why would you want to try multiple models? Why not just pick the one with the best accuracy? As we will see later in the tutorial, even though these models have been trained on the same dataset and optimized for maximum accuracy, they do behave slightly differently on specific images. In addition, prediction speed and memory footprints can vary, and that's an important factor for many applications. By trying a few pretrained models, you have an opportunity to find a model that can be a good fit for solving your business problem.
+
+
+```python
+import mxnet as mx
+from mxnet import gluon, nd
+from mxnet.gluon.model_zoo import vision
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+import numpy as np
+import json
+%matplotlib inline
+```
+
+## Loading the model
+
+The [Gluon Model Zoo](https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/api/python/gluon/model_zoo.html) provides a collection of off-the-shelf models. You can get the ImageNet pre-trained model by using `pretrained=True`. 
+If you want to train on your own classification problem from scratch, you can get an untrained network with a specific number of classes using the `classes` parameter: for example `classes=10`.
 
 Review comment:
   Maybe add a line of code to show how to get the untrained model with different number of classes? Also perhaps emphasise that one cannot change number of classes and user pretrained as the same time.
