Release Notes - v1.0.0b1

GroundedDINO-VL Beta Release

Release Date: 2025-11-20
Version: 1.0.0b1

🚀 Highlights

The first beta release of GroundedDINO-VL, a modernized vision-language framework for zero-shot object detection. Built on PyTorch 2.7 with full CUDA 12.8 support, providing a production-ready implementation of GroundingDINO with improved architecture and developer experience.

✨ Key Features

  • Modern Stack: Full support for PyTorch 2.7 and CUDA 12.8
  • Zero-Shot Detection: Detect objects using natural language descriptions with state-of-the-art accuracy (52.5 AP on COCO)
  • Label Studio Integration: Production-ready ML backend for real-time auto-annotation workflows
  • Clean API: Simplified high-level API (load_model, predict, annotate) with backward compatibility
  • Robust Architecture: Graceful fallback mechanisms for CUDA/CPU environments
  • Docker Support: Complete Docker Compose setup for Label Studio integration

🔧 Improvements & Bug Fixes

  • Fixed import path inconsistencies - Standardized module imports across the codebase
  • Enhanced C++/CUDA ops loading - Added robust error handling with automatic PyTorch fallback when CUDA extensions are unavailable
  • Updated deprecated dependencies - Migrated from deprecated timm.models.layers to timm.layers
  • Optimized imports - Moved heavy dependencies (cv2, supervision) to lazy loading for better compatibility
  • Improved error messages - More informative errors with actionable debugging instructions

📦 Installation
