YOLO26 compilation to HEF

Hi, you know if yolo26 can be compiles to a HEF file for HAILO-8 or HAILO-8L?

Hi @Pablo_Vazquez - Yes!

We are working on it these days.

It would be exciting to see how (if) optimization in yolo26 affects performance on the Hailo.

Hi, I have ported yolo26n to run on hailo-8L. I uploaded the code and model to my repo: GitHub - DanielDubinsky/yolo26_hailo

you can also see the metrics and read about the process here: 29.01.2026 - Porting YOLO26n to the Hailo-8L - Daniel Dubinsky

Very impressive effort. Thank you for sharing!

@DanielDubinsky Thanks for sharing with us!

Great work has been done!
How many contexts does this model fit into?
Will your code also work for Hailo-8?

Currently 5 contexts, I haven’t explored further regarding getting it to fit into less.
I don’t have a Hailo-8 so I don’t know, I’m guessing that it will work, just make sure to specify the hardware in the export scripts when parsing/optimizing/compiling.

@Roman_Sovhyria It suppose to work also on 8

It seems to me that 5 contexts are a bit too many for such a simple model.
I hope the developers at Hailo will improve this parameter. Then the latency should decrease.

Amazing, thank you! - Does it also work on Hailo 10H?

I don’t know :slight_smile: hopefully it does, but I would advice to modify the alls to improve the accuracy.
