About this model

Florence-2 distilled for edge inspection use cases — caption, detect, segment from a unified head.

Authored by microsoft. Curated into the Fo’c’sle reference set on 2028-03-02. All cross-chip benchmarks below were collected in matched-pair runs in the HIL lab using the same input pipeline, same upstream preprocessing, and the same downstream consumer. See the methodology page for the full protocol.

Training data

Pretrained on the upstream maintainer’s released checkpoint. Edge-distillation pass uses 2.4M frames from the Fo’c’sle distillation corpus (consented public data + opt-in publisher contributions). Quantization-aware fine-tune uses 320K calibration samples drawn from the target task’s eval domain.

  • Pretraining corpus: upstream maintainer release
  • Distillation corpus: 2,400,000 frames
  • Calibration set: 320,000 samples (per task)
  • Eval set: standard benchmark + matched-pair HIL runs
