warning as mentioned in #13226.

🛠️ PR Summary

_{Made with ❤️ by Ultralytics Actions}

🌟 Summary

Update to use latest CUDA AMP (Automatic Mixed Precision) API across various files for better compatibility and performance.

📊 Key Changes

Replaced torch.cuda.amp.autocast with torch.amp.autocast("cuda") in multiple files.
Replaced torch.cuda.amp.GradScaler with torch.amp.GradScaler("cuda").

🎯 Purpose & Impact

Improved Compatibility: Ensures that the code remains compatible with the latest PyTorch changes, reducing the risk of future issues.
Performance: Leverages CUDA's improved automatic mixed precision to potentially enhance computational efficiency.

@jacobdbrown4 thank you for your comment! To ensure we address your issue effectively, could you please verify that you are using the latest versions of YOLOv5 and all related dependencies? This helps us confirm whether the problem persists with the most recent updates.

If the issue is still reproducible, please provide additional details such as error messages, steps to reproduce, and any relevant code snippets. This information will help us diagnose and resolve the issue more efficiently.

Looking forward to your response! 😊

This pull request needs to be merged, inference times are slower due to this error constantly popping up with the newest versions of pytorch.

Reproducible with this commit 907bef2f63771a352346d0b4f068946d7f961f0c Enough to run python3 train.py and it will spam this warning on every iteration

Please ensure you're using the latest YOLOv5 version, as updates may resolve this issue. If it persists, let us know with more details.

Are you guys just bots designed to repeat the same thing when a real issue is present within the code? The latest version of yolov5 is literally fetched every single time I initialize my script. The issue is with your code being outdated.

Oct 13 '24 20:10 ijnrghjkdsmigywneig203

@ijnrghjkdsmigywneig203 thank you for your feedback. We recommend ensuring all dependencies are up-to-date. If the issue persists, please provide more details so we can investigate further.

Everything is up to date and the error for your outdated code still occurs. What can I do to solve it?

will this be merged anytime soon?

Thank you for following up. The PR appears to address the deprecation warning for torch.cuda.amp in PyTorch 2.4. I'll let the maintainers review and make a decision on merging. In the meantime, you can track the PR status for updates.

Nov 17 '24 13:11 pderrenger

Why isn't the update merged as of yet? Is something blocking it making it impossible? Because I still get the same warning on every update.

Jan 24 '25 03:01 SamDaaLamb

The PR addressing this issue is likely under review by the maintainers. You can monitor its progress directly on the pull request page. Merging depends on thorough testing and alignment with the repository's standards. Thank you for your patience!

Is there any more news on this?

Feb 03 '25 10:02 essair

We appreciate your patience. PRs undergo thorough review and testing to ensure compatibility across all supported environments. For updates on this specific PR, please monitor its status directly on GitHub. Thank you for helping improve YOLOv5! 🚀

Feb 03 '25 23:02 pderrenger

Code changes made by this PR are minimal, so I hope a review should not take long.

In the meantime, YOLOv5 training output printed to the terminal is cluttered with the torch warning being printed repeatedly. This makes monitoring training progress difficult. It would be great if we could get this merged.

Feb 04 '25 00:02 jacobdbrown4

Thank you for your PR and patience. Our team reviews all contributions thoroughly to ensure compatibility across environments and use cases. We'll prioritize testing this PyTorch 2.4 AMP update and merge it once verified. You can track progress directly on the PR page. We appreciate your help keeping YOLOv5 up-to-date! 🚀

Still no progress for this trivial PR???

Nov 03 '25 21:11 blackliner

Thanks for the nudge—this PR is waiting on a small compatibility shim so YOLOv5 still runs on older PyTorch; once that’s in and CI passes we’ll merge. If you need an immediate workaround, update your local AMP calls to torch.amp with a torch.cuda.amp fallback; see the Mixed Precision overview for context in the Ultralytics Docs.
