- IDEA Research's Grounding DINO, an open-set object detector that pairs the DINO detector with grounded pre-training so it can detect arbitrary objects described in language; it scored 52.5 AP zero-shot on COCO without COCO training data and 63.0 AP after fine-tuning. IDEA has since released Grounding DINO 1.5 through an API.
