The Voxel51 engineering team is thrilled to announce the general availability of FiftyOneOne 0.22.1 and FiftyOne Teams 1.4.2, which bring with them dozens of enhancements and fixes to streamline your computer vision workflows.
Wait, what’s FiftyOne?
FiftyOne is the open source machine learning toolset that enables data science teams to improve the performance of their computer vision models by helping them curate high quality datasets, evaluate models, find mistakes, visualize embeddings, and get to production faster.
Okay, but what’s FiftyOne Teams?
FiftyOne Teams extends FiftyOne with a GSuite-like experience for teams that want to collaborate on data stored in a centralized location with additional features like user permissions, dataset versioning, cloud-backed media, and enterprise security.
If this sounds interesting, read on! Then schedule a workshop to learn more about FiftyOne Teams.

Get involved in the FiftyOne open source community!
If you are working on computer vision use cases and unstructured data, the FiftyOne community is for you. There are tons of ways to get involved, for example:
FiftyOne Community Slack
With over 2,000 members, the community Slack channel is a great place to interact with the FiftyOne developers and exchange solutions with machine learning engineers doing computer vision in production.
To make it easy to catch the highlights, every Friday we recap interesting questions and answers from Slack in Tips & Tricks blog series. Recent posts include:
- 3D Detections – FiftyOne Tips and Tricks
- Exploring Polylines – FiftyOne Tips and Tricks
- Creating Pose Skeletons from Scratch – FiftyOne Tips and Tricks
- Dynamic Groups – FiftyOne Tips and Tricks
- Understanding Grouped Datasets
Computer Vision and AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science Meetups
Voxel51 sponsors 13 virtual Computer Vision Meetups and 12 AI, Machine Learning and Data Science Meetups around the world with over 16,000 members. (To join, visit the Meetup links and scroll down to find the location friendliest to your time zone.)
The Computer Vision Meetups are geared towards data scientists, machine learning engineers, and open source enthusiasts who want to expand their knowledge of computer vision and complementary technologies. We put an emphasis on open source software, and speakers who are computer vision practitioners or academics doing research in the field. Our next Meetup is happening this Thursday:
- Bridging the Gap: Advancing Civil Engineering Inspections with Computer Vision – Johannes Flotzinger, Civil Engineer & Research assistant at Universität der Bundeswehr München
- Adapting to Change: Foundation Models, APIs, and the Past, Present and Future of AI Development – Pietro Bolcato at Kittl
- Deci Diffusion: Triple the Speed of Stable Diffusion – Harpreet Sahota, DevRel Manager ay Deci.ai
