Hi,

Is pre-trained VGG16 available? I have updated torchvision to 0.1.7 version and it says `vgg16() takes no argument`. Also in ([https://github.com/pytorch/vision/issues/28](https://github.com/pytorch/vision/issues/28)), it is mentioned that pre-trained VGG models are now available in master.

it’s available in master. You can install torchvision master via:  
`pip install https://github.com/pytorch/vision/archive/master.zip`

We will be generating versioned binaries v0.1.8 soon
