About Ultralytics
Ultralytics Inc. is a software development company specializing in computer vision AI. The company was founded in 2020 by Glenn Jocher with the mission to make AI accessible to everyone. Jocher, who serves as CEO, previously worked in particle physics and started translating the C++ based YOLOv3 into the more accessible Python language, which led to the creation of YOLOv5 and the founding of the company. While some sources state a founding year of 2014 or 2022, the company was officially incorporated in 2020.
