slate-heron

by Ivan Marahovschi qhoenix/slate-heron

slate-heron is an open-weight model for image classification from Ivan Marahovschi, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 119M parameters. At 16-bit it needs about 0.3 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.

EfficientNetV2-L (torchvision efficientnetv2l, 1000 ImageNet classes) fine-tuned with adversarial training for the Perturb subnet (netuid 26).

What it takes to serve slate-heron (119M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 18, 2026.

Questions About slate-heron

How much GPU memory does slate-heron need?

About 0.3 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (119M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run slate-heron on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

Can I use slate-heron commercially?

Yes. slate-heron is released under Apache License 2.0. The Apache License 2.0 is a permissive open-source license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. It requires keeping the license and copyright notices and any NOTICE file, stating significant changes, and it includes an express patent grant from contributors.

Built with DINOv3. This is the completed V2 mean-pooling model for 2,991 plant species from Western Australia. Supply one photo, or 2–4 distinct photos from the same plant observation. This release uses the epoch-12 EMA weights from the expanded-data BF16 training run. The CLI uses self-contained TorchScript graphs (encoder.ts and classifier.ts) and imports no project modules. FP32 model.safetensors is also included for research use. Optimizer state and training data are excluded. executorch/PlantDetect-WA-V2-INT8.pte is a W8A8 export of this mean-pooling checkpoint for CPU inference without PyTorch. It uses custom plantquant:: kernels (INT8 weights with per-output-channel FP32 scales, FP16…
