Today we wanted to release BananaMind 2 Pico, our smallest model yet at ~0.9M parameters. Instead, we accidentally ran a very expensive experiment on what happens when you push a tiny model way past its useful token budget.
Short version: we trained on 200B tokens (~222K:1 tokens-per-parameter). The model peaked at 20B tokens with an INT Index of 4.55, then degraded monotonically over the next 160B to 3.31 — a 27% regression. Three of four Open SLM benchmarks were worse at the end of training than they were at 10% through.
The useful compute-optimal range for Pico-tier models looks like ~22K–30K tokens per parameter. Ratios like 7K:1, 15K:1, and 22K:1 all work fine — TinyStories and most sub-3M community models sit in this range. Push much further and benchmarks start rotting.

And if anyone, i dont know the reason why you would, wants the 20B token checkpoint reply and ill upload it as BananaMind 2.1 Pico EXP repliedto dronefreak's post about 5 hours ago
🚀 Excited to open-source the SeaDronesSee Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.
This release includes:
- 🤖 YOLOv8, YOLOv11, YOLOv26 and RF-DETR object detection models trained on SeaDronesSee, spanning nano through x-large YOLO variants plus RF-DETR Nano/Small/Medium.
- 🌊 Benchmarked on SeaDronesSee's maritime search-and-rescue setting — swimmers, boats, jet skis, life-saving appliances and buoys captured by UAVs over open water, at varying altitudes and non-uniform image resolutions (1080p up to 4K+).
- 📊 Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices (YOLO), qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.
Headline numbers:
- 🏆 Best mAP@50: 83.47% (RF-DETR Medium), 47.49% mAP@50:95, 87.01% precision.
- ⚡ Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26s hits 80.14% mAP@50 at just 22.8 GFLOPs (10.0M params) — within ~3 points of the top RF-DETR variant, while actually beating YOLOv11x's 74.82% mAP@50 using ~8.6x fewer FLOPs (196.0 GFLOPs).
The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with maritime UAV perception easier by providing ready-to-use pretrained checkpoints, all trained and evaluated under one shared pipeline (DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench).
Full credit for the underlying dataset goes to Leon Amadeus Varga, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer, and Andreas Zell (University of Tübingen, WACV 2022) — this release is an unofficial, YOLO-ready reformatting of their work (CC0-licensed), not a new dataset.
If you're working on maritime search-and-rescue, UAV perception, autonomous drones, or real-time object detection, I hope these resources are useful.
