"\n", "\n", "Welcome to the Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀 notebook! YOLOv8 is the latest version of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) AI models developed by Ultralytics. This notebook serves as the starting point for exploring the various resources available to help you get started with YOLOv8 and understand its features and capabilities.\n", "\n", "YOLOv8 models are fast, accurate, and easy to use, making them ideal for various object detection and image segmentation tasks. They can be trained on large datasets and run on diverse hardware platforms, from CPUs to GPUs.\n", "\n", "We hope that the resources in this notebook will help you get the most out of YOLOv8. Please browse the YOLOv8 Docs for details, raise an issue on GitHub for support, and join our Discord community for questions and discussions!\n", "\n", "
