ultralytics 8.3.20

v8.3.20 - `ultralytics 8.3.20` W&B `plots=False` logging fix (#17088)

on Python PyPI

🌟 Summary

The release of Ultralytics version 8.3.20 introduces improvements for efficiency and usability in both training logging and Docker image compatibility.

📊 Key Changes

• W&B Integration Fix: Adjusted the Weights & Biases logging to prevent errors when plots are deliberately disabled by the user.
• Docker Update: Updated the base Docker image to use a more recent version of PyTorch.
• Pretrained Model Documentation: Added examples for using pretrained YOLO models with Open Images Dataset V7.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• Improvement in Efficiency: The W&B logging fix optimizes the training process by avoiding unnecessary plotting operations, thereby saving computational resources. 📉
• Enhanced Compatibility: By updating the Docker's PyTorch version, users benefit from potential performance boosts and better support for current CUDA features, facilitating more efficient processing. 🚀
• Better Usability: The addition of code examples for pretrained models makes it easier for users to implement sophisticated AI functionality without a steep learning curve, boosting productivity and accessibility in AI projects. 🧑‍💻
