delta +0.066 F1 — COCO val2017 vehicle subset (250 images, 971 boxes), 800 px letterbox, 1-core x86, run 2026-09-28.
Car, motorcycle, bus and truck on road scenes. We raced every Apache-2.0 architecture on the held-out set, calibrated the winner, and ship it as a pack with the numbers attached. The full table is below, and you can check our work on the real street frame below.
This is the winning detector, unedited output: nine vehicles found, nothing invented. The image was not uploaded anywhere — the boxes below were drawn from the actual run and shipped with the page.

F1 at IoU 0.50 on the held-out set, stock threshold 0.5 flat versus calibrated. Latency is the median of a single CPU core.
