Good to see some progress in the space, as NMS always felt like a very hacky solution to me.
Also good that the YOLO moniker is being challenged. After pjreddie went off to do better things, I've always felt a bit sad about random parties co-opting the YOLO name. And then with Ultralyics and their weird approach to monetizing YOLOv8 "yeah uh so it's open source but if you actually train a model plz fork over your money)... not a nice look.

- wongarsu 2y agoThe upside of Ultralytic's monetization is that the tooling is top-notch. You really can fine tune a model in about three lines of code, train a model from scratch just as easily, and run inference with ease. And all with decent documentation. For my use cases I prefer great AGPL (with optional commercial license) tooling over the free good-enough-for-the-paper-but-not-practical-applications tooling you get with most computer vision projects (including this one).
