YOLOv10 is a real-time end-to-end object detection model developed by THU-MIG at Tsinghua University, released in May 2024 under the AGPL-3.0 license. It introduces consistent dual assignments during training — using both one-to-many and one-to-one label assignment strategies — to eliminate the need for non-maximum suppression at inference time while maintaining competitive accuracy. This end-to-end design reduces inference latency compared to NMS-dependent detectors at similar accuracy levels.
YOLOv10-B achieves 52.7% AP on COCO with 46% lower latency than YOLOv9-C at comparable performance. The model is available in six sizes from Nano to Extra Large, built on the Ultralytics framework, and exportable to ONNX, TensorRT, and CoreML. YOLOv10 is suited for latency-sensitive deployment scenarios where post-processing overhead is a constraint.

YOLOv10 runs as a hosted REST endpoint through Roboflow Workflows. Pick a task, then hand the prompt to your coding agent or copy the code. Deploying the workflow into a free Roboflow workspace replaces the your-workspace and YOUR_API_KEY placeholders with your own.
Add the Roboflow MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http roboflow https://mcp.roboflow.com/mcp
Run /mcp and authorize Roboflow in your browser when the OAuth flow opens.
Start a new Claude Code session so the MCP loads, then paste the prompt below (it works the same in any agent).
Deploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.
Integrate the Roboflow "YOLOv10" workflow into my app.
- Endpoint: POST https://serverless.roboflow.com/<your-workspace>/workflows/yolov10-object-detection-coco-medium
- Auth: send my Roboflow API key as `api_key` in the request body, read from the ROBOFLOW_API_KEY env var (never hardcode).
- Body: { "api_key": ..., "inputs": { `image`: { type: "url" | "base64", value } } }.
With the Roboflow MCP connected, call `workflows_get` on "yolov10-object-detection-coco-medium" to read the exact input schema (the source of truth), then `workflows_run` on a sample image to confirm the output shape before writing code (the MCP is authenticated, so this needs no key). Without the MCP, use the contract above.
Before running the app, set up these keys so it does not error at runtime:
- `ROBOFLOW_API_KEY` (sent as `api_key`) from https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api
Create a .gitignore'd .env with these variables, using placeholder values for any I haven't given you. Then pause and tell me directly, in your reply: the full path to the .env file, exactly which keys I need to paste in, and the link to get each one. Wait for me to confirm I've added them before you run anything. Do not run the app until I confirm.
Then add the integration to my codebase: match my project's language, framework, and conventions; read every key from environment variables (never hardcode); add basic error handling; and include a small runnable example. If you can't tell what language my project uses, ask me.pip install inference-sdkDeploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.

}'YOLOv10 is released under AGPL-3.0, the most restrictive of the common model licenses. AGPL-3.0 requires the user to open-source any code changes they make, including the code of any other projects that connect directly to the model, so the YOLOv10 license usually means a separate commercial license for business use.
Serving YOLOv10 behind an API or inside a hosted product counts: AGPL-3.0 reaches the code of other projects that connect directly to the model, which is what catches most commercial deployments by surprise.
Read the full AGPL-3.0 license ↗A commercial license is a separate license which gives you the right to use YOLOv10 without an obligation to open-source related code changes. Roboflow plans include commercial licenses for the supported models listed on the licensing page, scoped by deployment method: Roboflow Managed Cloud on Public plans, a Self-Hosted Inference Server on Core, and deployment outside the Roboflow ecosystem on Enterprise.
Do not hesitate to reach out with questions for your commercial project — our team will help you start solving business problems on the first call. See Roboflow commercial licensing for the models included in each plan.
Talk to salesYOLOv10 is licensed under an AGPL-3.0 license.
This means that YOLOv10 is available for private and commercial use, but that you will need to follow specific conditions. For commercial use, you need to follow AGPL-3.0 conditions or purchase a license for commercial use, modifications, and distribution.
Using an AGPL-3.0 licensed model is conditioned on making available complete source code of licensed works and modifications, which include larger works using a licensed work, under the same license. Copyright and license notices must be preserved. Contributors provide an express grant of patent rights. When a modified version is used to provide a service over a network, the complete source code of the modified version must be made available.
To use YOLOv10 in a commercial project without the AGPL-3.0 conditions, you need a license. As a paid Roboflow customer, you automatically get access to use any YOLOv10 models trained on or uploaded to our platform for commercial use.
If you are a free Roboflow customer, you can use YOLOv10 in any way if using our serverless hosted API and can use YOLOv10 models commercially self-hosted with a paid plan.
To learn more about model licensing with Roboflow, refer to our Licensing guide.
AGPL-3.0 closes the "SaaS loophole" in GPL-3.0: even hosting the model behind an API counts as distribution and triggers the source-disclosure requirement.

YOLOv10 is a pretrained computer vision model for object detection. Unlike a general vision language model, it returns structured predictions for its task rather than free text.
YOLOv10 comes in 5 sizes: Nano (640×640), Small (640×640), Medium (640×640), Large (640×640), XL (640×640). Smaller variants run faster on constrained hardware; larger ones trade speed for accuracy. You can switch sizes in the demo to compare them on the same image.
Yes. The demo on this page runs YOLOv10 in the free Roboflow Playground: upload an image and see results in seconds. A free account unlocks unlimited runs.
