[Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) is the latest version of the YOLO object detection and image segmentation model developed by [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com). YOLOv8 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. The YOLOv8 models are designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of object detection, image segmentation and image classification tasks. Whether you are a seasoned machine learning practitioner or new to the field, we hope that the resources on this page will help you get the most out of YOLOv8.

Documentation
See below for quickstart intallation and usage example, and see the [YOLOv8 Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com) for full documentation on training, validation, prediction and deployment.
Install Pip install the ultralytics package including all [requirements.txt](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/requirements.txt) in a [**Python>=3.7.0**](https://www.python.org/) environment, including [**PyTorch>=1.7**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). ```bash pip install ultralytics ```
Usage YOLOv8 may be used in a python environment: ```python from ultralytics import YOLO model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # load a pretrained YOLOv8n model model.train(data="coco128.yaml") # train the model model.val() # evaluate model performance on the validation set model.predict(source="https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg") # predict on an image model.export(format="onnx") # export the model to ONNX format ``` Or with CLI `yolo` commands: ```bash yolo task=detect mode=train model=yolov8n.pt args... classify predict yolov8n-cls.yaml args... segment val yolov8n-seg.yaml args... export yolov8n.pt format=onnx args... ``` [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/tree/main/ultralytics/yolo/v8/models) download automatically from the latest Ultralytics [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/releases).

Checkpoints
All YOLOv8 pretrained models are available here. Detection and Segmentation models are pretrained on the COCO dataset, while Classification models are pretrained on the ImageNet dataset. [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/tree/main/ultralytics/yolo/v8/models) download automatically from the latest Ultralytics [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/releases) on first use.
