# YOLO26-Detection: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Ultralytics YOLO26 is a machine learning model that predicts bounding boxes and classes of objects in an image.

This is based on the implementation of YOLO26-Detection found [here](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/tree/main/ultralytics/models/yolo/detect).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/yolo26_det) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

## Getting Started
Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot distribute pre-exported model assets for this model.
Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/yolo26_det) Python library to compile and export the model with your own:
- Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
- Custom input shapes
- Target device and runtime configurations

See our repository for [YOLO26-Detection on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/v0.58.0/src/qai_hub_models/models/yolo26_det) for usage instructions.
