Ultralytics MCP Server

# 📋 Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## [Latest] - 2025-08-09

### ✨ Added
- **YOLO11 Model Variant Selection**: Choose from yolo11n/s/m/l/x base models in training interface
- **Smart Model Info Display**: Real-time parameter count and GFLOPs information for each variant
- **Enhanced Training UI**: Improved model selection with descriptive labels and performance hints

### 🔧 Improved
- **Streamlined Model Selection**: Focused on YOLO11 variants instead of mixed model families
- **Training Configuration Summary**: Clear display of selected base model in training overview
- **Consistent UI**: Synchronized both training pages (root and ultralytics folders)

### 🐛 Fixed
- **Model Reference Bug**: Fixed undefined model name in training summary
- **UI Consistency**: Aligned model selection across duplicate training pages
