Configure YOLOv8 for GPU: Accelerate Object Detection

YOLOv8, developed by Ultralytics in 2023, is an advanced object detection algorithm with significant improvements over its predecessors. It features a CSPNet backbone, FPN+PAN neck, and anchor-free approach, enhancing accuracy and efficiency for real-time detection tasks.

Using a GPU with YOLOv8 can dramatically boost performance, reducing training and inference times by 10-50 times compared to CPUs. This enables faster processing of larger datasets and real-time object detection for applications like autonomous vehicles and video surveillance.
