YOLOv8 is a state-of-the-art object detection and image segmentation model created by Ultralytics, the developers of YOLOv5. YOLOv8 has native support for image classification tasks, too. YOLOv8, launched on January 10, 2023, features:

  • A new backbone network;
  • A design that makes it easy to compare model performance with older models in the YOLO family;
  • A new loss function and;
  • A new anchor-free detection head.
