Geti™ is an end-to-end platform for building AI computer vision models.

Available as a Docker container or native Windows application, Geti™ guides you through the entire model lifecycle—from dataset preparation and training to optimization and deployment. Geti™ is optimized for fine-tuning and fast inference across the full Intel® XPU portfolio.

The Geti™ application is powered by getitune, an open-source engine for model training and optimization, which is also available standalone as a Python library. Geti™ and getitune are both developed in this repository, in the application and library folders, respectively.

Geti™ - Learning Cycle

Note

Geti™ underwent a major revamp in v3.0, resulting in a new application that is much more lightweight and easier to install than before, while adding many new features and SOTA models. This repository contains the latest Geti™ v3. Legacy versions remain available in the old geti_v2 repository; to migrate from Geti™ v2 to v3, please follow this guide.

Note

This repository previously hosted the OpenVINO Training Extensions (OTX) project, now fully replaced by getitune. The legacy otx package is still available in Pypi although deprecated; it's recommended to migrate to getitune, which has a similar interface to otx and extends it with several new models.

Quick start with Geti™

There are several ways to run Geti™, choose the one that best fits your workflow:

For complete, step-by-step instructions - including prerequisites, GPU/accelerator support, container and source builds, the install script, and troubleshooting - see the Installation guide. To update an existing Geti™ installation to a newer version, follow the Upgrade guide.

Once Geti™ is up and running, follow the intuitive UI to train your first model.

Application demo

Quick start with Geti Library (getitune)

Geti's training engine is published on PyPI and can train, optimize, and deploy models from Python.

uv pip install "getitune[xpu]" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/xpu    # for Intel® XPU acceleration
uv pip install "getitune[cuda]" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128    # for NVIDIA® CUDA acceleration
uv pip install getitune # CPU-only by default

Important

The PyPI package does NOT include Ultralytics YOLO models, which are distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license. To enable these models, build from source with the ultralytics extra as explained in the getitune documentation.

Discover available models and train a model in just a few lines of code:

from getitune.engine import create_engine
from getitune.utils import list_models

# Explore available models for your task
all_models = list_models()                    # List all model names
detection_models = list_models(task="DETECTION")  # Filter by task
recipes = list_models(return_recipes=True)    # Get full recipe YAML paths

# Create an engine using any model name or recipe path
engine = create_engine(
    model="efficientnet_b0",                  # model name, recipe YAML path, or exported IR/ONNX
    data="/path/to/dataset",                  # dataset directory or YAML path
    work_dir="./my_workspace",                # checkpoints and logs directory
    device="auto",                            # "auto", "cpu", "gpu", "xpu".
)

# Train and validate
engine.train(max_epochs=50)
metrics = engine.test()

# Export to OpenVINO IR (default) for deployment
exported_model_path = engine.export()

# load exported OpenVINO model
ov_engine = create_engine(model=exported_model_path, data=engine.datamodule)

# optimize the model for edge deployment
optimized_model_path = ov_engine.optimize()

# test the optimized model
metrics = ov_engine.test()

# predict with the optimized model
predictions = ov_engine.predict()

See the getitune documentation for the full list of recipes, advanced configuration, dataset support, backend-specific options, and deployment/optimization examples.

🔄 Interactive end-to-end model training

Geti™ enables users to start building deep-learning computer vision models with as few as 10-20 images and take them to production in one environment - annotate, train, optimize, run inference, and improve accuracy in a rapid train-predict-annotate loop.

⚡ Hardware-accelerated inference & model optimization

Every model is automatically exported with OpenVINO™ for deployment across the full Intel® XPU portfolio (Arc™ GPUs, Core™ Ultra processors); NVIDIA® CUDA and CPU-only execution are also supported. Fine-tune and run inference directly on edge and client hardware - including Intel® Panther Lake and Arc™ Battlemage (B-series) GPUs - with no Kubernetes cluster or data-center GPU required. Built-in accuracy-aware INT8 quantization further reduces model size and latency on resource-constrained edge devices with minimal impact on accuracy.

🚀 Integrated deployment & inference

Build custom pipelines (source → model → sink) to deploy models inside Geti and monitor real-time predictions on video streams. Sources include USB/IP cameras and video files; optional sinks include folder, MQTT, and webhook. Complete pipelines can be exported as OpenVINO™-optimized bundles for edge deployment.

🎨 Multiple computer vision tasks

Geti™ supports multiple computer vision tasks that are commonly employed across various use cases - image classification, object detection and instance segmentation from the no-code web interface, with even more tasks available through the getitune library.

🧠 Smart annotations

Smart annotations in Geti™ enable users to easily create bounding boxes and polygons. These smart annotation features coupled with the AI-assisted annotations and state-of-the-art AI models such as the Segment Anything Model keep human experts in the loop while massively reducing the total annotation efforts needed by a human.

Smart Annotations

📦 Model & dataset management

Track how datasets and models evolve, link models to a specific dataset revision, view exact training hyperparameters, and fine-tune from any previous version. Import and export in COCO, Pascal VOC, YOLO, and a Geti-optimized native format, with label filtering to selectively include or exclude labels on import/export.
