# YOLOv9

We support YOLOv9 object detection inferencing via our [Serverless Hosted API](/deploy/serverless-hosted-api-v2.md). Training YOLOv9 is not supported on Roboflow, but you can [upload pretrained weights](/deploy/upload-custom-weights.md) for an existing Project and serve them through the Serverless Hosted API.

For self-hosted deployment, see [Roboflow Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com/).

YOLOv9 input size is set when you train your model outside Roboflow (typical values: 640x640 or 1280x1280).

## Aliases

YOLOv9 has no default Roboflow Universe aliases. To run inference, use your own trained YOLOv9 `model_id` in the form `project/version` (from a Project where you uploaded YOLOv9 weights).

## Code sample

Install the SDK and [supervision](https://supervision.roboflow.com/) for decoding and annotation:

```bash
pip install inference-sdk supervision
```

Replace `your-project/1` with your own `model_id`. Pass your [Roboflow API Key](https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api) via the `API_KEY` environment variable.

```python
import os
import urllib.request

import cv2
import supervision as sv
from inference_sdk import InferenceHTTPClient

image_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/com-roboflow-marketing/notebooks/examples/cars-highway.png"
image_path = "cars-highway.png"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(image_url, image_path)

image = cv2.imread(image_path)

client = InferenceHTTPClient(
    api_url="https://serverless.roboflow.com",
    api_key=os.getenv("API_KEY"),
)
result = client.infer(image, model_id="your-project/1")

detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(result)

box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
label_annotator = sv.LabelAnnotator()

annotated = box_annotator.annotate(scene=image.copy(), detections=detections)
annotated = label_annotator.annotate(scene=annotated, detections=detections)

cv2.imwrite("annotated.png", annotated)
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Set `api_url` to match your deployment target:

* `https://serverless.roboflow.com` for the Serverless Hosted API.
* `http://localhost:9001` for a local [Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com/) server.
* Your [Dedicated Deployment](/deploy/dedicated-deployments.md) URL for a private endpoint.
  {% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roboflow.com/deploy/supported-models/yolov9.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
