We are Ultralytics, and we’re here to make AI easy. Our purpose is to make model development accessible, efficient to train, and easy to deploy. It’s been a remarkable journey, but we’re just getting started.
Glenn Jocher
Founder & CEO
Glenn founded Ultralytics to lead the United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) antineutrino analysis efforts, culminating in the miniTimeCube experiment and the world's first ever Global Antineutrino Map published in Nature. A deeper realization of the profound particle physics mysteries that evade us led him to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as the best solution for mankind to exceed the limits of our own minds and one day truly understand the universe and our place in it. Today he's driven to build the world's best vision AI as a building block to a future AGI, and YOLOv5, YOLOv8, and Ultralytics HUB are the spearheads of this obsession

75K
Right now, Ultralytics open-source repositories have more than 70K stars on GitHub! Three years after the first release, we are thrilled that the community loves our technology as much as we do. It's been amazing to see all of the use cases you've come up with, and we've excited to see how you change the world with YOLO.
600+
At this time, we have over 600+ contributors to our open-source efforts. Without the support of the community and contributors, Ultralytics YOLO would not be what it is today.
6%
Did you know that 6% of Ultralytics YOLO users are high school students? And, we even have some users who are in middle school.
