TinyFormer-S-PBM detection weights, repackaged for LibreYOLO. TinyFormer ("TinyFormer: Preserving Tiny Objects in YOLO-DETR Hybrid Real-time Detectors", arXiv:2605.25046) is a DEIMv2-derived YOLO-DETR hybrid specialised for tiny objects via a Spatial Semantic Adapter and a 4-scale Parallel Bi-fusion neck. This size runs on the DEIMv2-distilled ViT-Tiny tower (DINOv3-distilled).

Reported VisDrone2019 val AP (upstream protocol): 28.9.

This is the official VisDrone2019 finetune (10 classes: pedestrian, people, bicycle, car, van, truck, tricycle, awning-tricycle, bus, motor), initialised from the COCO checkpoint. The reported AP follows the upstream repository's VisDrone conversion and evaluation protocol and is not comparable to COCO numbers.

The backbone parameters derive from facebookresearch/dinov3 (the DEIMv2-distilled ViT-Tiny tower (DINOv3-distilled)) and are licensed under the DINOv3 License. Because this checkpoint bundles DINOv3-derived parameters, the combined distribution is governed by the terms of both licenses.

Checkpoint metadata wrapping only — learned parameters are unchanged (the EMA weights of the released solver checkpoint). The wrapper adds model_family, size, nc, and names fields so the unified LibreYOLO() factory routes correctly without filename heuristics. See weights/convert_tinyformer_weights.py in the LibreYOLO source repository.
