# RTMDet-s — acaua mirror (pure-PyTorch port)
Pure-PyTorch port of RTMDet-s (8.9M params, COCO box AP 44.6) hosted under `CondadosAI/` for use with the [acaua](https://github.com/CondadosAI/acaua) computer vision library.
The architecture has been re-implemented in pure PyTorch under [`acaua.adapters.rtmdet`](https://github.com/CondadosAI/acaua/tree/main/src/acaua/adapters/rtmdet) — no `mmcv`, no `mmengine`, no `mmdet`, no `trust_remote_code`. The weights in this mirror are converted from the upstream mmdet `.pth` checkpoint to safetensors with the acaua adapter's state_dict key naming. They are NOT drop-in compatible with mmdet — they're designed to load cleanly into our `nn.Module` tree.

## Usage
```python
import acaua
model = acaua.Model.from_pretrained("CondadosAI/rtmdet_s_coco")
results = model.predict("image.jpg")
print(results.boxes, results.scores, results.labels)
```
## License and attribution
Redistributed under Apache-2.0, consistent with the upstream code (`open-mmlab/mmdetection`) and the weights released on `download.openmmlab.com`. The acaua adapter is itself a derivative work of the upstream PyTorch implementation — see [`NOTICE`](./NOTICE) for the required attribution chain (code AND weights).
