YOLO-World Model Licensing and Pricing

In this guide, we will discuss what license YOLO-World uses and how you can secure a license to use the model for commercial purposes.

What license does YOLO-World use?

YOLO-World is licensed under a GPL-3.0 license.

Roboflow supports deploying these models with Inference, though they require a commercial license to use without GPL restrictions.

Roboflow provides a commercial license to YOLO-World to customers with active paid subscriptions. This license applies to training and deployment through the Roboflow ecosystem (like self-hosting Inference); usage of these models outside of Roboflow is not covered.

YOLO-World Commercial Licensing

To use YOLO-World in a commercial project without the GPL-3.0 conditions, you need a license. As a paid Roboflow customer, you automatically get access to use any YOLO-World models uploaded to our platform for commercial use. This is secured under Roboflow’s sub-license agreement with the creators of YOLO-World.

If you are a free Roboflow customer, you can use YOLO-World in any way if using our serverless hosted API and can use YOLO-World models commercially self-hosted with a paid plan.
