ShowUI

ShowUI locates the target of an instruction as an image point.

Tasks
point detection
Sizes
2b at 1344 px
Install
pip install "libreyolo[vlm]"
Support tier
Sibling tier, since v1.6.0. A separate product surface with its own factory and contract.
Upstream
ShowUI by ShowUI authors, MIT. Paper, source
Licenses
Code MIT, weights MIT. Commercial use

Install

bash
pip install "libreyolo[ground]"

Predict

Python
from libreyolo import LibreGround, SAMPLE_IMAGE model = LibreGround("showui-2b", device="cpu")result = model(SAMPLE_IMAGE, prompt="the person")print(result.points.xy)

Use prompt= or query= for one call, or set_query() for a persistent instruction. A list of instructions on one image returns at most one click per query. Multi-query calls on image lists or folders raise an error. Coordinates refer to the original image. Training, validation and export are not supported. See the grounding API.

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.

Original work

Weights

Interpretation
The model publisher declares MIT.
