Roboflow and Ultralytics Partner to Grow Computer Vision Community

Roboflow has entered into a partnership with Ultralytics, allowing it to license and integrate Ultralytics models, such as the YOLO series, into its dataset management and annotation tools, thereby becoming the official tool for Ultralytics. This collaboration enhances the integration between Roboflow and Ultralytics, enabling users to efficiently bootstrap projects with public datasets, train custom models, and iteratively improve performance by incorporating real-world data. The partnership aims to simplify the computer vision process by minimizing the complexities of machine learning and infrastructure, making it more accessible for developers to focus on domain-specific problems. Users can start using YOLO models with a free Roboflow account, and the commercial licensing options allow for deployment within business environments without the risk of violating the AGPL-3.0 license. Additionally, Roboflow is committed to supporting the open-source community by contributing financially to the Ultralytics project and encouraging innovative projects that lower barriers to accessing computer vision technology.
