Summary
NVIDIA released LocateAnything, an open-source model that achieves ~10x faster object detection by predicting all coordinates simultaneously instead of sequentially, reaching 12.7 FPS on a single H100 and outperforming 32B parameter models.

@NVIDIA just dropped LocateAnything, making object detection ~10x faster by fixing one core bottleneck:
How the model writes coordinates.
Standard AI models do visual grounding the slow way.
They predict coordinates piece by piece: Token 1, Token 2, Token 3, Token 4 etc.
LocateAnything stops treating boxes like text.
It looks at an object and predicts the complete set of coordinates at the exact same time.
Because it’s not waiting on itself to finish a “sentence,” the speed gains are incredible:
→ 12.7 frames per second on a single H100 → Dominates across dense object detection and GUI navigation → Outperforms much heavier 32-billion parameter models
.. and it’s trained on a massive custom dataset of 138 million queries and 785 million bounding boxes.
Best part?
It’s 100% free and open-source.
