[Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com) [YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) 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. YOLOv8 is designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of object detection and tracking, instance segmentation, image classification and pose estimation tasks.
We hope that the resources here will help you get the most out of YOLOv8. Please browse the YOLOv8 <a href="https://docs.ultralytics.com/">Docs</a> for details, raise an issue on <a href="https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/issues/new/choose">GitHub</a> for support, and join our <a href="https://ultralytics.com/discord">Discord</a> community for questions and discussions!

```bash
pip install ultralytics
```
For alternative installation methods including [Conda](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ultralytics), [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics), and Git, please refer to the [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.ultralytics.com/quickstart).

<summary>Usage</summary>
### CLI
YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a `yolo` command:
```bash
yolo predict model=yolov8n.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg'
```
`yolo` can be used for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. `imgsz=640`. See the YOLOv8 [CLI Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cli) for examples.
### Python
YOLOv8 may also be used directly in a Python environment, and accepts the same [arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg/) as in the CLI example above:
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n.yaml") # build a new model from scratch
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)
# Use the model
model.train(data="coco8.yaml", epochs=3) # train the model
metrics = model.val() # evaluate model performance on the validation set
results = model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg") # predict on an image
path = model.export(format="onnx") #
