Our new YOLOv5 release v7.0 instance segmentation models are the fastest and most accurate in the world, beating all current SOTA benchmarks. We've made them super simple to train, validate and deploy. See full details in our Release Notes and visit our YOLOv5 Segmentation Colab Notebook for quickstart tutorials.
