## Benchmarks
|
|
- [COCO and RF100-VL Results](https://rfdetr.roboflow.com/latest/learn/benchmarks/): T4 TensorRT FP16, batch 1
|
|
- Detection model range: RF-DETR-Nano 2.3 ms and 48.4 COCO AP50:95 through RF-DETR-2XLarge 17.2 ms and 60.1 COCO AP50:95
|
|
- Segmentation model range: RF-DETR-Seg-Nano 3.4 ms and 40.3 COCO AP50:95 through RF-DETR-Seg-2XLarge 21.8 ms and 49.9 COCO AP50:95
|
|
|
|
## Model Selection Answers
|
|
- Use RF-DETR-Nano for lowest latency edge detection: 2.3 ms on T4 TensorRT FP16, 48.4 AP50:95 on COCO, 30.5 M params.
|
|
- Use RF-DETR-Small (3.5 ms, 53.0 AP50:95) or RF-DETR-Medium (4.4 ms, 54.7 AP50:95) when latency is tight but accuracy must improve over Nano.
|
|
- Use RF-DETR-Large for the best open Apache 2.0 accuracy-latency trade-off: 6.8 ms, 56.5 AP50:95 on COCO.
|
|
- Use RF-DETR-XLarge (11.5 ms, 58.6 AP50:95) or RF-DETR-2XLarge (17.2 ms, 60.1 AP50:95) when maximum accuracy matters; requires rfdetr[plus] and PML 1.0 license.
|
|
- Use RF-DETR-Seg-Large (8.8 ms, 47.1 AP50:95) or RF-DETR-Seg-2XLarge (21.8 ms, 49.9 AP50:95) when instance masks are required; detection-only models return bounding boxes only.
