Overview
Description
Florence-2 lets your applications understand images — describing scenes, detecting objects, and reading text — with a single unified AI model from Microsoft. Instead of maintaining separate tools for OCR, object detection, and image captioning, you get one system that handles them all. The bottom line: fewer integrations, simpler maintenance, and consistent vision capabilities across your products.
