Another one is just a joker.

Because this one is the official and real YOLO work with a research paper written by the original YOLO authors.
They definitely have right to decide the name.
For others, well..........

Another joker.
Meituan just want to hype.
Yolov7 doesn't care about meituan's name and is confident to surpass meituan a lot.
meituan/YOLOv6#232
I don't like dirty words, but the fact is that they deliberately steal the name and hype without permission from Joseph Redmon or AlexeyAB.

Why not v8?
Cause here is the v8: https://github.com/jinfagang/yolov8
Interesting.

Why not v1972?

Cause here is the v1972: https://github.com/juunini/YOLOv1972

So funny, I don't want to say which of the two works is better.This yolov7 is official.
But the other's(jinfagang) work is definitely respectable and has received a lot of attention and praise.
You are more of a JOKER than these two authors. :)

I think both works are great but in totally different aspects.
This one is for Academics/Research, and the other one (jinfagang) is for Engineering/Tool.
We should appreciate hard work for both.
