Unless I’m missing something, the Reddit discussion seems to indicate that the only maintained versions are the ones maintained by Ultralytics. Are there other maintained versions out there?

Even if this is not the case, that doesn’t mean the article is a ”total scam”.

Yes it is a scam because it says that YOLO is ultralytics. That's the wrong point. There are hundreds of different YOLO implementations. Just search for some bookmarks or look in huggingface. Paperswithcode is dead now, hugging face built something similar.

How does that make it a scam? You know that “scam” doesn’t mean “incorrect”, right?

Can you be more specific? The Reddit discussion you linked to described everything else as being pretty dead. What is being actively developed?

Agreed, this article is pure misrepresentation. However, are DETRs performing better than YOLO? That's the salient question, for me.

A small percent difference means nothing at all.

Your camera will be very different from the images the models have been trained on, so you'll have to do fine tuning. So the only thing that matters is this phase.

Plus, there are models that run device, on servers etc.

DETR model have outperformed YOLO models for a while, but they have been much slower making them impractical for real time detection.
