Contributions summary:Lazaros primarily focused on enhancing the functionality and usability of the provided PyTorch-based Flops counter. Their commits involved modifying the `ptflops` library, specifically altering how model parameters and floating-point operations (FLOPs) are displayed. They added and refined parameters such as units and precision to the `get_model_complexity_info` and `print_model_with_flops` functions, enhancing the user's ability to analyze model complexity. They also corrected typos and implemented code formatting using linting tools.
