Ultralytics YOLOv8, developed by Ultralytics, is a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art (SOTA) model that builds upon the success of previous YOLO versions and introduces new features and improvements to further boost performance and flexibility. YOLOv8 is designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of object detection, image segmentation and image classification tasks.

Documentation

See below for a quickstart installation and usage example, and see the YOLOv8 Docs for full documentation on training, validation, prediction and deployment.

Install

Pip install the ultralytics package including all requirements in a Python>=3.7 environment with PyTorch>=1.7.

pip install ultralytics
Usage

CLI

YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a yolo command:

yolo predict model=yolov8n.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg'

yolo can be used for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. imgsz=640. See the YOLOv8 CLI Docs for examples.

Python

YOLOv8 may also be used directly in a Python environment, and accepts the same arguments as in the CLI example above:

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n.yaml")  # build a new model from scratch
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")  # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)

# Use the model
model.train(data="coco128.yaml", epochs=3)  # train the model
metrics = model.val()  # evaluate model performance on the validation set
results = model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg")  # predict on an image
success = model.export(format="onnx")  # export the model to ONNX format

Models download automatically from the latest Ultralytics release. See YOLOv8 Python Docs for more examples.

Models

All YOLOv8 pretrained models are available here. Detect, Segment and Pose models are pretrained on the COCO dataset, while Classify models are pretrained on the ImageNet dataset.

Models download automatically from the latest Ultralytics release on first use.

Detection

See Detection Docs for usage examples with these models.
