Launch: Deploy YOLOv9 Models with Roboflow

Roboflow now supports the deployment of YOLOv9 object detection models, allowing users to upload trained model weights to the cloud for scalable API access or to deploy them on edge devices using Roboflow Inference, a versatile computer vision inference server compatible with various hardware, including NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs. The process involves creating a project in Roboflow with a dataset, possibly utilizing the Roboflow Universe repository of datasets, and using tools like Google Colab for model training since Roboflow does not support YOLOv9 training directly on its platform. After training, users can export and upload their model weights to Roboflow, making them accessible via a cloud API or through local deployment using the Inference Python SDK, which integrates the model into application logic as a microservice. The guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of setting up and deploying models, from dataset preparation and annotation to training and inference, emphasizing practical steps for users to run their models on images or video streams.
