What's New

New release adds OpenVINO, LiteRT, and Core AI export formats while restructuring export internals and removing deprecated training configuration options

Breaking Changes

  • Export internals restructured into Exporter classes (direct imports like `export_onnx` are removed)
  • TensorRT engine naming changed when using `backbone_only=True`
  • `TrainConfig.multi_scale` is now a three-state enum and `do_random_resize_via_padding` is removed
  • `RFDETR.optimize_for_inference()`, `TrainConfig.lr_drop`/`lr_min_factor`, and the standalone synthetic-dataset generator are removed

New Features

  • OpenVINO IR export with configurable precision (float32/float16)
  • Apple Core AI export for iOS/iPadOS/macOS 27+
  • CUDA graph training replay for faster single-GPU detection
  • WebDataset streaming reader for tar-shard training input
  • Dynamic-batch TensorRT engines supporting a range of batch sizes

Improvements

  • Restructured export internals into format-specific Exporter classes
  • Dynamic-batch TensorRT engines built via a single optimization profile
  • CUDA graph training replay combinable with `torch.compile`
  • WebDataset streaming reader for scalable training input

Upgrade Notes

Code importing old converter functions directly needs updated imports. `TrainConfig.multi_scale` is now an enum, and `do_random_resize_via_padding` is removed. TensorRT engine naming changes when `backbone_only=True`. Consult the Migration guide for exact code examples.
