        resolution_wh: (output_width, output_height) to which we rescale the boxes.

    Returns:
        A tuple of `(xyxy, labels, masks, obb_boxes)` where `xyxy` is an array
            of shape `(n, 4)` in format `[x1, y1, x2, y2]`, `labels` is an
            optional array of shape `(n,)` with class labels, `masks` is an
            optional array of shape `(n, h, w)` with segmentation masks, and
            `obb_boxes` is an optional array of shape `(n, 4, 2)` with oriented
            bounding boxes.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the top-level Florence 2 payload has multiple tasks or
            if a task payload is malformed.

Solutions

1. Use one of the supported Florence-2 tasks listed in the error message (e.g. object detection, caption, OCR variants).
2. For unsupported Florence-2 prompts, parse the raw string output manually instead of using the connector.
