Usage ### CLI You can use Ultralytics YOLO directly from the Command Line Interface (CLI) with the `yolo` command: ```bash # 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: ```python 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](https://docs.ultralytics.com/models/yolov3) to the latest [YOLO26](https://docs.ultralytics.com/models/yolo26). The tables below showcase YOLOv8 models pretrained on [COCO](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/detect/coco) for [Detection](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/detect), [Segmentation](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/segment), and [Pose Estimation](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/pose). [Classification](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/classify) models are pretrained on [ImageNet](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/classify/imagenet). [Tracking](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/track) mode is compatible with Detection, Segmentation, and Pose models. All [Models](https://docs.ultralytics.com/models) download automatically from the latest Ultralytics [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/assets/releases) on first use.
