Documentation

See below for quickstart installation and usage examples. For comprehensive guidance on training, validation, prediction, and deployment, refer to our full Ultralytics Docs.

Install Install the `ultralytics` package, including all [requirements](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/pyproject.toml), in a [**Python>=3.8**](https://www.python.org/) environment with [**PyTorch>=1.8**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). [![PyPI - Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/ultralytics?logo=pypi&logoColor=white)](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) [![Ultralytics Downloads](https://img.shields.io/pepy/dt/ultralytics?color=blue)](https://clickpy.clickhouse.com/dashboard/ultralytics) [![PyPI - Python Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/ultralytics?logo=python&logoColor=gold)](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) 
pip install ultralytics
For alternative installation methods, including [Conda](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ultralytics), [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics), and building from source via Git, please consult the [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.ultralytics.com/quickstart). [![Conda Version](https://img.shields.io/conda/vn/conda-forge/ultralytics?logo=condaforge)](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ultralytics) [![Docker Image Version](https://img.shields.io/docker/v/ultralytics/ultralytics?sort=semver&logo=docker)](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics) [![Ultralytics Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/ultralytics/ultralytics?logo=docker)](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics)
Usage ### CLI You can use Ultralytics YOLO directly from the Command Line Interface (CLI) with the `yolo` command: 
# Predict using a pretrained YOLO model (e.g., YOLOv8n) on an image
yolo predict model=yolov8n.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg'
The `yolo` command supports various tasks and modes, accepting additional arguments like `imgsz=640`. Explore the YOLO [CLI Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cli) for more examples. ### Python Ultralytics YOLO can also be integrated directly into your Python projects. It accepts the same [configuration arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg) as the CLI: 
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a pretrained YOLOv8n model
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")

# Train the model on the COCO8 dataset for 100 epochs
train_results = model.train(
    data="coco8.yaml",  # Path to dataset configuration file
    epochs=100,  # Number of training epochs
    imgsz=640,  # Image size for training
    device="cpu",  # Device to run on (e.g., 'cpu', 0, [0,1,2,3])
)

# Evaluate the model's performance on the validation set
metrics = model.val()

# Perform object detection on an image
results = model("path/to/image.jpg")  # Predict on an image
results[0].show()  # Display results

# Export the model to ONNX format for deployment
path = model.export(format="onnx")  # Returns the path to the exported model
Discover more examples in the YOLO [Python Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/python).

Models

Ultralytics supports a wide range of YOLO models, from early versions like YOLOv3 to the latest YOLO26. The tables below showcase YOLOv8 models pretrained on COCO for Detection, Segmentation, and Pose Estimation. Classification models are pretrained on ImageNet. Tracking mode is compatible with Detection, Segmentation, and Pose models. All Models download automatically from the latest Ultralytics release on first use.

Questions About YOLOv8

Can I use YOLOv8 commercially?

Yes, with conditions. YOLOv8 is released under GNU Affero General Public License 3.0. The AGPL 3.0 is a strong copyleft license. Commercial use is allowed, but a modified version made available to users over a network must be released with its source code under the same license.

GGUF builds of nvidia/LocateAnything-3B for locate-anything.cpp - a C++/ggml inference engine for open-vocabulary detection / visual grounding, no Python at inference time. Brought to you by the LocalAI team. The detections are the same as the official PyTorch implementation (the engine is parity-gated against it), and it runs faster - on CPU and GPU. The full-precision f32 GGUF (~15 GB) is reproducible from the HF weights with scripts/convertlocateanythingtogguf.py in the repo. Same detections as the official model, faster. Full methodology, the warm/median setup, parity checks, and more images are in the repo's Slow-mode inference on the 448 fixture; vs official divides the official…

This is a fine-tuned version of YOLOv11 (n, s, m, l, x) specialized for License Plate Detection, using a public dataset from Roboflow Universe: The upstream Roboflow dataset (license-plate-recognition-rxg4e) contains train/test contamination — the same source images appear in both the training and test splits with only minor manual augmentation applied (see Discussion #2 for concrete examples). As a result: - The reported metrics below are likely overestimated, because the test set is not a true held-out evaluation. - Real-world generalization performance is expected to be lower than the numbers in the table. - Treat all evaluation figures with caution and validate the model on your own…

surya_layout2

Datalab

A lightweight document layout detection model used by Surya. It detects layout regions (text, tables, figures, headers, captions, equations, etc.) on a page image and runs on CPU or GPU. This is the "fast" layout detector — a compact object detector that serves as a drop-in alternative to Surya's VLM-based layout model. Documentation, installation, and everything else lives in the Point the fast layout predictor at this checkpoint: Or make it the default so the CLI and library use it without an explicit path: Released under the AI Pubs OpenRAIL-M license (see LICENSE) — the same license as the surya-ocr-2 model weights.

If you haven't already, you can install the Transformers.js JavaScript library from NPM using: Test it out here, or create your own object-detection demo with 1 click! Note: Having a separate repo for ONNX weights is intended to be a temporary solution until WebML gains more traction. If you would like to make your models web-ready, we recommend converting to ONNX using Optimum and structuring your repo like this one (with ONNX weights located in a subfolder named onnx).
