NoScope: Optimizing Neural Network Queries over Video at Scale

Summary: Auto-sequences a cascade of specialized and difference detectors to accelerate neural-network video queries while preserving reference-model accuracy. A cost-based optimizer tunes the cascade per video/object, delivering up to 15,500x real-time speedups with 1–5% accuracy loss. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
