GigaPath-Flash and GigaTIME-Flash: Toward population-scale discovery with efficient pathology foundation models
AI introduction
Microsoft Research released GigaPath-Flash and GigaTIME-Flash, using knowledge distillation to compress the billion-parameter GigaPath encoder into a 22M-parameter ViT-S encoder, with performance within 3% of the original model at roughly 50x lower compute.
