100% MIT Licensed • No AGPL Dependencies

Object Detection.
Unrestricted.

The MIT-licensed training and inference engine for state-of-the-art YOLO models. Built for commercial applications, free from AGPL restrictions.

quickstart.py
from libreyolo import LIBREYOLO

# Load any YOLO architecture
model = LIBREYOLO("yolov11.pt")

# Run inference
results = model.predict("image.jpg")

# That's it. No boilerplate. Just Python.

The Licensing Landscape

Not all open-source is equal. Understand the difference before you ship.

Typical YOLO Implementations

The Standard Approach

  • AGPL-3.0Copyleft License
  • Viral clause: Your code may need to be open-sourced
  • Proprietary use requires expensive licensing
  • Legal review recommended before deployment

The Libre Engine

Libre-YOLO

  • MITPermissive License
  • No copyleft: Your code stays private
  • Commercial use: Fully permitted, no fees
  • Safe to merge into any codebase

Built for Real Products

Technical excellence meets legal clarity. Everything you need to ship with confidence.

Clean Room Implementation

Zero lineage from restrictive repositories. A fresh codebase built from research papers, not copied code.

Unified Architecture

Run v8, v11, and future architectures with a single, stable API. One engine, all models.

Deep Inspection

Debug your model's 'brain' with native feature map visualization. See what the network sees.

Production Ready

Optimized inference paths, ONNX export, and deployment guides for edge and cloud.

Native Python

No complex dependencies or build steps. pip install and go. Works where you work.

Hardware Agnostic

CPU, CUDA, MPS (Apple Silicon), and more. Train and deploy anywhere.
