North Micro Vision

North Micro Vision detects objects through a text vocabulary.

Tasks
detection
Install
pip install "libreyolo[vlm]"
Support tier
Sibling tier, since v1.6.0. A separate product surface with its own factory and contract.
Licenses
Code MIT, weights Apache-2.0. Commercial use

Install

bash
pip install "libreyolo[vlm]" "transformers>=5.16.0"

Predict

Python
from libreyolo import LibreVLM, SAMPLE_IMAGE model = LibreVLM("north-micro-vision", device="cpu")model.set_classes(["person", "building"])result = model(SAMPLE_IMAGE)print(result.boxes)

The adapter runs one detection query per vocabulary class. It requires Transformers 5.16 or later, above the shared VLM extra floor. Training is not supported.

Licensing

Check the license on the Hugging Face repository of the specific weights you download. Every checkpoint in the LibreYOLO org carries one, and they are not always the same across a family. That repository is the authoritative source; the summary below describes what applied when this page was last verified.

This is a description of the licenses involved, not legal advice. If the answer matters commercially, read the licenses yourself and take your own counsel.
