Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces a Two-Pass Adaptive Inference algorithm for YOLOv10s that dynamically uses a low-resolution pass and escalates to high-resolution only when necessary. Unlike prior work, it improves inference speed without modifying the model architecture. The approach is hardware-aware, targeting system bottlenecks on consumer GPUs to enable practical real-time AI.

Research Paper Overview
Accelerating Local AI on Consumer GPUs: A Hardware-Aware Dynamic Strategy for YOLOv10s
Summary
This paper identifies system-level bottlenecks in running YOLOv10s on consumer GPUs like the RTX 4060 and proposes a Two-Pass Adaptive Inference algorithm that dynamically switches between low and high resolution passes to improve speed without changing the model architecture. The method achieves a 1.85x speedup over PyTorch Early-Exit baselines with minimal accuracy loss, enabling practical real-time AI on consumer hardware by leveraging hardware-aware inference strategies.
