Export, quantization & deployment

Fastest route: export in Platform

Open a completed model's Export tab, select a format, configure its arguments, and click Start Export. Platform runs CPU exports directly and asks for a target GPU where the format requires one (notably TensorRT); download the artifact when the job completes. For TensorRT, select the deployment device's GPU family or Jetson target; if its TensorRT/CUDA versions differ from the device's, export locally on that device instead.

Use Platform when you do not want to install each exporter toolchain locally. Use the Python/CLI path below for custom calibration, repeatable automation, local hardware builds, or immediate parity validation. See Platform model export.

Quickstart

from ultralytics import YOLO

model = YOLO("runs/detect/train/weights/best.pt")
path = model.export(format="onnx")  # returns the exported file/dir path
