Ultralytics YOLO26 Pose Estimation

Ultralytics creates cutting-edge, state-of-the-art (SOTA) YOLO models built on years of foundational research in computer vision and AI. YOLO26 is the latest generation — fast, accurate, and easy to use. This Replicate deployment runs YOLO26 on CPU with a runtime-selectable model size (n/s/m/l/x); this endpoint performs pose estimation, detecting human body keypoints and skeletons for the COCO-Pose ‘person’ class.

📄 Documentation

For comprehensive guidance on training, validation, prediction, and deployment, refer to the full Ultralytics Docs.

Install

Install the ultralytics package, including all requirements, in a Python>=3.8 environment with PyTorch>=1.8.

pip install ultralytics

For alternative installation methods, including Conda, Docker, and building from source via Git, please consult the Quickstart Guide.

CLI

You can run this model from the Command Line Interface (CLI) with the yolo command:

yolo predict model=yolo26n-pose.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg'

The yolo command supports various tasks and modes, accepting additional arguments like imgsz=640. See the CLI Docs.

Python

You can also run the model directly in Python:

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load the pretrained YOLO26-pose model
model = YOLO("yolo26n-pose.pt")

# Run inference on an image
results = model("path/to/image.jpg")
results[0].show()  # display the annotated result
results[0].save("output.png")  # save it

✨ Model

See the Pose Estimation Docs for usage examples. These models are trained on COCO-Pose, focusing on the ‘person’ class. All models download automatically from the latest Ultralytics release on first use.

• mAP val values are for single-model single-scale on the COCO Keypoints val2017 dataset. Reproduce with yolo val pose data=coco-pose.yaml device=0
• Speed metrics are averaged over dataset val images; CPU speeds measured with ONNX export, GPU speeds with TensorRT. See YOLO Performance Metrics for details.
