ultralytics.nn.autobackend.AutoBackend

AutoBackend(weights='yolov8n.pt', device=torch.device('cpu'), dnn=False, data=None, fp16=False, batch=1, fuse=True, verbose=True)

Bases: Module

Handles dynamic backend selection for running inference using Ultralytics YOLO models.

The AutoBackend class is designed to provide an abstraction layer for various inference engines. It supports a wide range of formats, each with specific naming conventions as outlined below:

Supported Formats and Naming Conventions:
    | Format                | File Suffix      |
    |-----------------------|------------------|
    | PyTorch               | *.pt             |
    | TorchScript           | *.torchscript    |
    | ONNX Runtime          | *.onnx           |
