What's New

Significant performance gains with default value changes affecting batch size and validation behavior.

Breaking Changes

  • `grad_accum_steps` default changed to 1, reducing effective batch size.
  • Validation now evaluates one model per epoch instead of two.
  • Dataset builders require a complete pipeline-option namespace.
  • `log_per_class_metrics` default changed to False.

New Features

  • `TrainConfig.pack_targets` for packed target transport across workers.
  • `TrainConfig.eval_batch_size` to decouple validation batch size.
  • `TrainConfig.best_model_metric` to rank checkpoints by mAR.
  • Training progress bar restoration with live GPU memory and LR metrics.
  • `deploy_to_roboflow()` version auto-resolution and `ROBOFLOW_HOME` alias support.

Improvements

  • Training time reduced by 44% via optimizer parameter group merging.
  • Inference speed increased by up to 46% via uint8 widening on accelerator.
  • DataLoader throughput increased by up to 2.26x using packed targets.
  • New GPU batched linear-assignment solver for the matcher on CUDA.
  • Optimizer parameter groups merged by hyperparameter (465 to 28).

Bug Fixes

  • Dataset builders now validate their config instead of silently falling back to wrong defaults.

Upgrade Notes

Upgrading requires attention to `grad_accum_steps` defaulting to 1, which reduces effective batch size. Validation metrics now reflect the EMA model only. Ensure dataset builders have a complete pipeline-option namespace.
