Researchers have developed pico-type, a novel byte-level multi-head content classifier with 1.5 million parameters. This model can predict seven different content properties, including coarse type, modality, subtype, code language, text language, file MIME type, and risk flags, all in a single forward pass without relying on tokenizers or pre-trained embeddings. Pico-type demonstrates significant accuracy improvements on benchmarks for code and text language identification, and its various tiered variants are designed for efficient export and fast CPU inference.
