Overview

YOLOv8n is the nano variant of Ultralytics' YOLOv8 family, optimized for real-time inference while maintaining strong detection accuracy. It supports detection, segmentation, classification, and pose estimation tasks.

On Mixpeek, YOLOv8n is the fastest object detection option, ideal for processing large video libraries where throughput matters more than detecting every small object.

Architecture

CSPDarknet53 backbone with C2f modules, FPN+PAN neck, and decoupled head. Anchor-free detection with distribution focal loss. Nano variant uses depth=0.33, width=0.25.
