D-FINE lineage
DEIM-D-FINE-X + Objects365 completed successfully at project mAP50 0.5630051027049761. Tuning is deferred until the shared audit.
RT-DETR lineage
RT-DETRv4-X is the immediate post–Stable-DINO GPU target. DINOv3 remains a frozen training-only teacher; final-student compliance and numerical equivalence precede execution.
DINO lineage
Stable-DINO R50 remains an accepted matched baseline. Stable-DINO Swin-L is now in 12-epoch canonical training; FocalNet-Huge is deferred due to capacity risk and opportunity cost.
DEIMv2
DINOv3 final-backbone variants are not permitted. An OSI-compliant student using DINOv3 only as an offline teacher requires exact-variant provenance before GPU work.
Co-DETR / Co-DINO
Co-DINO ViT-L + Objects365 completed 12 epochs and reproduced project mAP50 0.716519508806631 exactly. It is the strongest accepted baseline/reference currently, not a declaration of the final competition winner.
Parked / excluded RF and LW paths
LW-DETR XLarge, RF-DETR-L, Mr. DETR, and Relation-DETR are parked for specific execution or capacity reasons. RF-DETR XL and 2XL are permanently excluded by PML 1.0, not by performance.
