LocateAnything is a vision-language model for fast and high-quality visual grounding, enabling precise object localization, dense detection, and point-based localization across diverse domains in both Enterprise Intelligence and Physical AI. The model adopts a generalist design, supporting tasks such as referring expression grounding, multi-object detection, GUI element grounding, and text localization, with strong performance in complex and cluttered scenes. Its core innovation, Parallel Box Decoding (PBD), predicts complete bounding box coordinates in a single parallel step rather than autoregressive token-by-token decoding, improving efficiency while preserving geometric consistency. This enables up to 2.5× higher throughput compared to prior approaches. The model is trained on a large-scale multi-domain dataset (12M images, 138M+ queries, 785M bounding boxes) spanning natural scenes, robotics, driving, GUI interaction, and document understanding. It serves as a foundation for generalist multimodal perception and has been integrated into NVIDIA’s frontier production-grade vision-language models, such as Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, supporting…

Reported base models: Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
