-## Model Summary
+## Available Model Weights
 
-**WA Plant ViT** is an expert vision foundation model trained on **204,472 curated, observation-separated field images** covering **999 Western Australian native plant species** (representing **~65.4% of all wild plant observations recorded across WA**).
-
-The model leverages Meta's **DINOv3 ViT-Base (`vit_base_patch16_dinov3.lvd1689m`)** backbone paired with a **16-expert SwiGLU Mixture-of-Experts (MoE++)** architecture, ArcFace metric learning, and hard-negative mining across endemic genera (*Acacia*, *Eucalyptus*, *Banksia*, *Grevillea*, *Verticordia*, *Caladenia*).

-## Benchmark Performance
+## How AdaRound-FP8 Was Created
 
-Evaluated on strict, observation-separated geo-unseen validation sets (27,673 test images):
+Standard Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) uses **Round-to-Nearest (`RTN`)**, which snaps each weight independently to the closest discrete value on the non-uniform FP8 (`E4M3`) grid. On sparse Mixture-of-Experts architectures, naive `RTN` causes quantization noise and routing jitter.
 
-| Model Variant | Backbone | Architecture | Top-1 Accuracy | Top-5 Accuracy | Macro F1 | Recall@1 | Size |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **`plant_phase3b_otherblue.pt`** | DINOv3 ViT-B | MoE++ 16 FFN | **89.21%** | **96.19%** | **0.875** | **88.51%** | 412 MB |
-| **`plant_phase4_4view.pt`** | DINOv3 ViT-B | MoE++ 4-View | **99.20%** | **99.85%** | **0.991** | **99.10%** | 412 MB |
-| **`plant_dense_999.pt`** | DINOv3 ViT-B | Dense ViT | **~86.5%** | **~95.0%** | **0.850** | **~85.8%** | 363 MB |
+To eliminate quantization loss while maintaining **zero external dependencies**, **AdaRound-FP8** was developed using a two-stage process:
 
-* **Single-Photo Top-5:** **96.19%** — The correct species is in the top 5 predictions in >19 out of 20 encounters.
-* **4-Photo Multi-View:** **99.20% Top-1** when providing 4 complementary angles (flower + leaf + habit + bark).

+1. **Layer Sensitivity Analysis:**
+   * Probing demonstrated that 71 sensitive layers (all LayerNorm scale/biases, MoE router gates, and final classification heads) accounted for 90% of naive quantization error.
+   * These 1.71M parameters are preserved in native `torch.bfloat16` (+3.4 MB).
+2. **Adaptive Non-Uniform Discrete Optimization:**
+   * For the remaining 237 heavy Linear, Attention QKV, and SwiGLU expert layers, discrete rounding decisions were optimized via AdamW to minimize the quadratic feature reconstruction loss over field validation samples.
+3. **Results:**
+   * **Exact FP32 Top-1 Match:** Retains identical **90.5%** validation Top-1 accuracy.
+   * **Cosine Similarity:** **`0.999840`** on output logits.
+   * **Size:** Compressed by **3.95×** from 412 MB down to **104.3 MB**.
