We've been running YOLO for a number of years (since v5) on soccer videos. None of the recent iterations have been significantly better, with v26 scoring worse then v9 and v11 on our tasks. Makes me wonder why this version is being pushed by roboflow and ultralytics.

When I was working with YOLO models it did seem like there was little practical improvements were between all of the spinoff models. It seemed people were pushing new models for personal recognition since the original creator stopped working on it.
That said, many of the claimed improvements in this model were are efficiency related.

The original YOLO author has long quit due to ethical reasons.

Despite having a very memorable paper on the topic I believe they now work at Ai2.

Was evaluating YOLO26 within the last month for its on-device (iPhone 16 Pro) segmentation capabilities. Its decent, but its biggest limitation is that its only trained on 80 COCO classes (meaning pre-labeled images). If whatever is in your images isn't in the 80 classes, its invisible to YOLO26.
Conversely I have SAM2 running on-device and its my current workhorse. The biggest benefit with SAM2 for me is that it does fine-grained segmentation masks but isn't trained on labeled images. This was a specific requirement for the app I'm building. SAM2 isn't anywhere as speedy as the native Vision framework apis, but it is more capable across a vastly wider array of potential image targets.

I would prefer GroundingDINo which is a sort of SAM and Dino combo which does open vocabulary.

One thing I don’t get I why the article is credited to ‘Contributing Author’.
Meanwhile their very own Peter Skalski already does super job with host write ups and examples of all YOLO sorts and is well respected.

Is the license for this AGPL? Can someone please confirm?

I found that while CLIPSeg is slower than YOLOn, it is still pretty fast and if gave me much much better results without training.
If you want to detect objects and speed is important so you can’t use a LLM architecture, you can give it a try too.

Wow I'm old, I still remember working with YOLOv2.

With some previous versions of YOLO I‘ve found pages that run it in real-time locally on your browser, analyzing the webcam.
Is there a demo like that available for YOLO26?

Reminder that Ultralytics is pushing AGPL in a very overreaching way with their models that's why they are not available in Frigate
Ive used YOLO26 in one of my projects, It was very easy to train on our custom dataset and also very easy to deploy even on rust with AVX2 support. This model is indeed fast and can be used for almost real time inference.
That said, many of the claimed improvements in this model were are efficiency related.
