| -RF-DETR is the first real-time model to exceed 60 AP on the [Microsoft COCO benchmark](https://cocodataset.org/#home) alongside competitive performance at base sizes. It also achieves state-of-the-art performance on [RF100-VL](https://github.com/roboflow/rf100-vl), an object detection benchmark that measures model domain adaptability to real world problems. RF-DETR is fastest and most accurate for its size when compared current real-time objection models. |
| 15 | +RF-DETR-N outperforms YOLO11-N by 10 mAP points on the [Microsoft COCO](https://cocodataset.org/#home) benchmark while running faster at inference. On [RF100-VL](https://github.com/roboflow/rf100-vl), RF-DETR achieves state-of-the-art results, with RF-DETR-M beating YOLO11-M by an average of 5 mAP points across aerial datasets including drone, satellite, and radar. |

| -RF-DETR is small enough to run on the edge using [Inference](https://github.com/roboflow/inference), making it an ideal model for deployments that need both strong accuracy and real-time performance. |

| -- `2025/07/23`: We release three new checkpoints for RF-DETR: Nano, Small, and Medium. |
24 |
| - - RF-DETR Base is now deprecated. We recommend using RF-DETR Medium which offers subtantially better accuracy at comparable latency. |
25 |
| -- `2025/03/20`: We release RF-DETR real-time object detection model. **Code and checkpoint for RF-DETR-large and RF-DETR-base are available.** |
26 |
| -- `2025/04/03`: We release early stopping, gradient checkpointing, metrics saving, training resume, TensorBoard and W&B logging support. |
27 |
| -- `2025/05/16`: We release an 'optimize_for_inference' method which speeds up native PyTorch by up to 2x, depending on platform. |
