Can a UAV vision-language model discard most of its visual tokens while preserving the evidence needed for counting and planning? This episode explains UAV-ESPrune's selection strategy, how to interpret its results, and the comparison that most affects its scientific claim. We cover three practical questions: how protected local evidence differs from generic feature diversity; what accuracy retention and end-to-end timing tell you about different parts of an inference system; and what makes a pruning baseline a faithful comparison. The setting is Qwen2.5-VL-7B inference on stored real UAV imagery, timed on an RTX 4090. We connect the design to FastV...
