ultralytics.utils.checks.check_amp(model)

This function checks the PyTorch Automatic Mixed Precision (AMP) functionality of a YOLOv8 model. If the checks fail, it means there are anomalies with AMP on the system that may cause NaN losses or zero-mAP results, so AMP will be disabled during training.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model Module

A YOLOv8 model instance.

required
Example
from ultralytics import YOLO
from ultralytics.utils.checks import check_amp

model = YOLO('yolov8n.pt').model.cuda()
check_amp(model)

Returns:

Type Description
bool

Returns True if the AMP functionality works correctly with YOLOv8 model, else False.
