🧠 “We found the code at @LightlyAI to be super well written and it was easy for us to make modifications.” Surai Pai from Harvard Medical School shared why his team used LightlySSL to adapt DINOv2 for 3D CT segmentation. 📄 Read more: eu1.hubs.ly/H0r3Bt10

🎥 Eurocontrol X Lightly: Ana-Maria Pelin explains how her team detects contrails from satellite imagery, and why they turned to LightlyTrain to improve segmentation performance with YOLO on ash-RGB data. Watch the clip 👇

🇮🇹 This week, the Lightly team is in Tuscany - workshops, strategy sessions, and team time just outside Florence. Afternoons = Italian food, winery visits, and dreamy views 🍷🌄 Heading home tomorrow recharged, aligned, and ready to make 2026 our most ambitious year yet. 🚀

🚀 LightlyTrain 0.14.0 is out: smaller and faster vision models for real-time deployment. Read more: eu1.hubs.ly/H0rbXLJ0

What does it take to train a 3D foundation model for CT segmentation? Surai Pai from Harvard Medical School shares how his team used LightlySSL to adapt DINOv2 for volumetric inputs, unify training configs, and streamline workflows across researchers. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0r8pN30

How do you train vision models on satellite imagery where RGB pretraining fails? EUROCONTROL used LightlyTrain for contrail detection, boosting YOLO performance with distillation + unlabeled data. Results are preliminary but promising. Read more: eu1.hubs.ly/H0r3vld0

We launched plugins in LightlyStudio last month and the feedback has been great. 🤩 They give ML teams a clean way to embed custom logic and automation directly into their dataset workflows. Read more → eu1.hubs.ly/H0qSr1T0

A great evening celebrating our year with the Lightly team at our Christmas dinner.🎄🌟 We’re grateful for every person on this team and for the dedication and passion they bring. We're looking ahead to what we will achieve together in 2026.🎉 Big things are coming!

📹 LightlyStudio now supports richer multimodal data workflows with full video and caption integration, including Python video loading/exploration, instant hover-over previews, and UI tools for viewing, editing, and QAing multiple captions. Read more: eu1.hubs.ly/H0qkzBs0
