I’m using a .hef model compiled with hailomz, based on a YOLOv8s model fine-tuned with my own custom classes. The model makes correct predictions at the class index level (for example, index 4 corresponds to “person” in my dataset), but during inference, the displayed class names are those of the CO…

Hey @ALEXFER , welcome to the community! So here’s the deal with your label issue - the HEF file itself doesn’t actually store your custom label strings. What you’re seeing at inference time (those class names) is coming from whatever runner you’re using - whether that’s TAPPAS/GStreamer, the Model…
