If you get HEF magic does not match error running a model with hailortcli run < HEF-PATH >, it may indicate one of the following situations:

  • The HEF file got corrupted: please try to regenerate the file

  • You are trying to run a HAR file. Please make sure that you did not copy the HAR file to the HEF file location. hailortcli cannot run HAR files

hailortcli run model.her
