## Callbacks
Ultralytics framework supports callbacks as entry points in strategic stages of train, val, export, and predict modes. Each callback accepts a `Trainer`, `Validator`, or `Predictor` object depending on the operation type. All properties of these objects can be found in Reference section of the docs.

## Examples
### Returning additional information with Prediction
In this example, we want to return the original frame with each result object. Here's how we can do that
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
def on_predict_batch_end(predictor):
# Retrieve the batch data
_, image, _, _ = predictor.batch
# Ensure that image is a list
image = image if isinstance(image, list) else [image]
# Combine the prediction results with the corresponding frames
predictor.results = zip(predictor.results, image)
# Create a YOLO model instance
model = YOLO(f'yolov8n.pt')
# Add the custom callback to the model
model.add_callback("on_predict_batch_end", on_predict_batch_end)
# Iterate through the results and frames
for (result, frame) in model.predict(): # or model.track()
pass
```
## All callbacks
Here are all supported callbacks. See callbacks [source code](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/utils/callbacks/base.py) for additional details.
### Trainer Callbacks
| Callback | Description |
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| `on_pretrain_routine_start` | Triggered at the beginning of pre-training routine |
| `on_pretrain_routine_end` | Triggered at the end of pre-training routine |
| `on_train_start` | Triggered when the training starts |
| `on_train_epoch_start` | Triggered at the start of each training epoch |
| `on_train_batch_start` | Triggered at the start of each training batch |
| `optimizer_step` | Triggered during the optimizer step |
| `on_before_zero_grad` | Triggered before gradients are zeroed |
| `on_train_batch_end` | Triggered at the end of each training batch |
| `on_train_epoch_end` | Triggered at the end of each training epoch |
| `on_fit_epoch_end` | Triggered at the end of each fit epoch |
| `on_model_save` | Triggered when the model is saved |
| `on_train_end` | Triggered when the training process ends |
| `on_params_update` | Triggered when model parameters are updated |

| `on_val_end` | Triggered when the validation ends |
### Predictor Callbacks
| Callback | Description |
|------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| `on_predict_start` | Triggered when the prediction process starts |
