"Welcome to the Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀 notebook! <a href=\"https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics\">YOLOv8</a> is the latest version of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) AI models developed by <a href=\"https://ultralytics.com\">Ultralytics</a>. 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 <a href=\"https://docs.ultralytics.com/\">Docs</a> for details, raise an issue on <a href=\"https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics\">GitHub</a> for support, and join our <a href=\"https://ultralytics.com/discord\">Discord</a> community for questions and discussions!\n",

"# Setup\n",
"\n",
"Pip install `ultralytics` and [dependencies](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/pyproject.toml) and check software and hardware."
"YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a `yolo` command for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. `imgsz=640`. See a full list of available `yolo` [arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg/) and other details in the [YOLOv8 Predict Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/train/).\n"
"Validate a model's accuracy on the [COCO](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/detect/coco/) dataset's `val` or `test` splits. The latest YOLOv8 [models](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics#models) are downloaded automatically the first time they are used. See [YOLOv8 Val Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/val/) for more information."
"Train YOLOv8 on [Detect](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/detect/), [Segment](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/segment/), [Classify](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/classify/) and [Pose](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/pose/) datasets.
