Active Learning 🤝 `workflows`
Active Learning data collection made simple with `workflows` 🔥 Now, with just a little bit of configuration you can start data collection to improve your model over time. Just take look how easy it is:

Key features:
* works for all models supported at Roboflow platform, including the ones from Roboflow Universe - making it trivial to use off-the-shelf model during project kick-off stage to collect dataset while serving meaningful predictions
* combines well with multiple `workflows` blocks - including `DetectionsConsensus` - making it possible to sample based on predictions of models ensemble 💥
* Active Learning block may use project-level config of Active Learning or define Active Learning strategy directly in the block definition (refer to [Active Learning documentation 📖 ](https://github.com/roboflow/inference/blob/main/inference/core/active_learning/README.md) for details on how to configure data collection)

See [documentation 📖 ](https://github.com/roboflow/inference/tree/main/inference/enterprise/workflows#activelearningdatacollector) of new `ActiveLearningDataCollector` to find detailed info.

🌱 Changed
`InferencePipeline` now works with all models supported at Roboflow platform 🎆
For a long time - `InferencePipeline` worked only with object-detection models. This is no longer the case - from now on, other type of models supported at Roboflow platform (including stubs - like `my-project/0`) work under `InferencePipeline`. No changes are required in existing code. Just put `model_id` of your model and the pipeline should work. Sinks suited for detection-only models were adjusted to ignore non-compliant formats of predictions and produce warnings notifying about incompatibility.

GroundingDINO bugfixes and enhancements!

Allows users to pass custom box_threshold and text_threshold params to Grounding DINO core model.
Update docs to reflect box_threshold and text_threshold params.
Fixes error by filtering out detections where text similarity is lower than text_threshold and Grounding DINO returns None for class ID.
Fixes images passed to Grounding DINO model being loaded as RBG instead of BGR.
Adds NMS to Grounding DINO, optionally using class agnostic NMS via CLASS_AGNOSTIC_NMS env var.

Try it out:

from inference.models.grounding_dino import GroundingDINO

model = GroundingDINO(api_key="")

results = model.infer(
{
"image": {
"type": "url",
"value": "https://media.roboflow.com/fruit.png",
},
"text": ["apple"],

Optional params
"box_threshold": 0.5
"text_threshold": 0.5
}
)

print(results.json())

🚀 Added

🎥 🎥 Multiple video sources 🤝 `InferencePipeline`
Previous versions of the `InferencePipeline` could only support a single video source. However, from now on, you can pass multiple videos into a single pipeline and have all of them processed! Here is a demo:

<video src="https://github.com/roboflow/inference/assets/146137186/0cf8338a-7fe4-4e07-83c4-600abbeb7c10"></video>

Here's how to achieve the result:

python
from inference import InferencePipeline
from inference.core.interfaces.stream.sinks import render_boxes

pipeline = InferencePipeline.init(
video_reference=["your_video.mp4", "your_other_ideo.mp4"],
model_id="yolov8n-640",
on_prediction=render_boxes,
)
pipeline.start()
pipeline.join()


There were a lot of internal changes made, but the majority of users should not experience any breaking changes. Please visit our [📖 documentation](https://inference.roboflow.com/using_inference/inference_pipeline/) to discover all the differences. If you are affected by the changes we needed to introduce, here is the [🔧 migration guide](https://inference.roboflow.com/using_inference/inference_pipeline/#migrate-to-changes-introduced-in-v0918).

Barcode detector in `workflows`
Thanks to chandlersupple, we have ability to detect and read barcodes in `workflows`.

🌱 Changed

Easier data collection in `inference` 🔥

We've introduced a new parameter handled by the `inference` server (including hosted `inference` at Roboflow platform). This parameter, called `active_learning_target_dataset`, can now be added to requests to specify the Roboflow project where collected data should be stored.

Thanks to this change, you can now collect datasets while using [Universe](https://universe.roboflow.com/) models. We've also updated [Active Learning 📖 docs](https://inference.roboflow.com/enterprise/active-learning/active_learning/)

python
from inference_sdk import InferenceHTTPClient, InferenceConfiguration

prepare and set configuration
configuration = InferenceConfiguration(
active_learning_target_dataset="my_dataset",
)
client = InferenceHTTPClient(
api_url="https://detect.roboflow.com",
api_key="<YOUR_ROBOFLOW_API_KEY>",
).configure(configuration)

run normal request and have your data sampled 🤯
client.infer(
"./path_to/your_image.jpg",
model_id="yolov8n-640",
)
