:rocket: Ultralytics v8.4.145 Released

Ultralytics v8.4.145 improves Platform login reliability by ensuring authentication and connection failures return a non-zero exit status. This makes yolo login and ul login safer and more dependable in scripts, CI pipelines, and other automated workflows. :white_check_mark:

:locked_with_key: Login Reliability Improvements

  • Invalid API keys and rejected authentication requests now exit with status 1.
  • Network and connection failures also return a failure status.
  • The corrected behavior applies consistently to both yolo login and delegated ul login flows.
  • Existing error messages remain available for clear troubleshooting.

:robot: Better Automation

Scripts and CI pipelines can now reliably detect failed login attempts instead of mistakenly treating them as successful.

yolo login YOUR_API_KEY
echo $?

A failed login now returns 1, allowing automation to stop or handle the failure appropriately.

:shield: Safer Credential Handling

Failed login attempts do not overwrite valid saved credentials. Successful operations remain unchanged:

  • Successful login saves credentials and exits normally.
  • Logout clears credentials and returns status 0.

:hammer_and_wrench: Bug Fixes and Release Updates

:package: Try It Today

Upgrade from PyPI to receive the corrected login behavior:
