Loving the series so far! Quick question: for those of us working on real-time applications, how well does YOLOv8 handle lower-resource environments (like Raspberry Pi)? Also, any tips on keeping performance smooth without too many trade-offs?

Why it shows that results has been saved to runs/detect/predict? In my installation it doesn't save any results anywhere on disk. Have you reconfigured something or what? I don't see you specify any extra command line keys for yolo CLI, but for some reasons it DOES save annotated images.

Also, why CLI doesn't have a key to choose output format from human-readable to something computer-friendly (like JSON)?

Fascinating tutorial! I’m curious about the live inference via webcam—how might privacy concerns or ethical considerations come into play when using YOLOv8 in real-time environments? Does the tech provide any built-in safeguards or best practices for responsibly managing this kind of data?

Entre a batida do CLI e o solo do Python, qual a melhor ferramenta pra quem quer ir além do básico e tocar de ouvido com live inference? Será que a combinação com webcam tem a música certa para aplicativos de segurança prática ou estamos apenas dançando conforme a hype?

Could Ultralytics YOLOv8 handle real-time video analytics for unexpected scenarios, like detecting something bizarre or out of place, say a cat wearing a hat? How would you handle potential false positives in such unusual cases?

I am wondering in which directory can I put the test.py doc you mentioned in the video? thanks

[AndrewTSq]

There is one big thing missing, how do you install the CLI tool? It says I do not need Python to use it, so how do I install the CLI tool?. Thanks in advance :)

[bladedance]

My live inference via rtsp is a bit laggy. Any way I can fix the bit rate?

[pgrvloik]

way too fast, too shallow, pretty much useless video

[NolenFelten]

Yeah wayyy too fast, saying a lot of words I don't understand and never heard before, no examples

[davidbrooks]

I'm sorry, but I can't watch the rest of this video, the way you keep talking is unbearable.
