Apologies for the friction you ran into getting started. I pushed a change to enable mps acceleration support for YOLOv8 training in Autodistill but the default device configuration wasn't set...

I don't know why I didn't respond to this earlier. My apologies! The URL embedding tool is still active: https://bsky.link/?url=https://bsky.app/profile/jamesg.blog/post/3jwbah3ssi32y The syntax is: ``` https://bsky.link?url=[your bluesky post] ``` Also, cool...

Can you share an example of the output?

Grounded SAM is a hybrid model that runs Grounding DINO first then SAM, a segmentation model. The output is thus in segmentation form. You can load the values after the...

If you want exclusively bounding boxes, `autodistill-grounding-dino` might be more appropriate (it is also faster).

You can train a YOLOv8 segmentation model with Autodistill. See https://github.com/autodistill/autodistill-yolov8?tab=readme-ov-file#choosing-a-task for guidance on how to specify that you want to train a segmentation model. You will need to choose...

In that case, I recommend [Autodistill Grounding DINO](https://github.com/autodistill/autodistill-grounding-dino). Grounding DINO is a zero-shot object detection model that you can use to label images with bounding boxes.

Good question! Every model has its strengths and weaknesses. We prioritize implementing state-of-the-art models. We expect the library of models to grow as the state of the art gets better....

I am happy to review a PR on this topic!

We do not support this at the moment. If you would like to submit a PR, we can review it!
