I have a .pt file that I obtained from training a YOLOv11 model. I’ve been trying for a long time to convert this .pt file into a .hef file. I can’t use a VM because I don’t have a GPU or 32 GB of RAM. I tried a Google Colab notebook, but the file it requires has been removed.
First, you cannot convert .pt direct to HEF. You need to convert your .pt file into ONNX format and then, convert .onnx file to .hef.
Check the YOLO documentation to learn how to convert your YOLO model to ONNX.
Second, the smallest memory requirement is 16 GB of RAM.
Finally, from what I can read in the docs, a GPU is required only for OPTIMIZATION. Thus, I think that you can convert ONNX to HEF even without a GPU.
