description: Detect objects faster and more accurately using Ultralytics YOLOv5u. Find pre-trained models for each task, including Inference, Validation and Training.
YOLOv5u is an updated version of YOLOv5 that incorporates the anchor-free split Ultralytics head used in the YOLOv8 models. It retains the same backbone and neck architecture as YOLOv5 but offers improved accuracy-speed tradeoff for object detection tasks.
## Key Features
- **Anchor-free Split Ultralytics Head:** YOLOv5u replaces the traditional anchor-based detection head with an anchor-free split Ultralytics head, resulting in improved performance.
- **Optimized Accuracy-Speed Tradeoff:** The updated model offers a better balance between accuracy and speed, making it more suitable for a wider range of applications.
- **Variety of Pre-trained Models:** YOLOv5u offers a range of pre-trained models tailored for various tasks, including Inference, Validation, and Training.
