  • Converting Yolov8 model to .blob , version problem

Hello, beginner here. I am trying to convert my YOLOv8 model to .blob format to use with my Oak-D-lite camera, but there is a problem with versions. I followed the instructions on this website: "https://tools.luxonis.com/" for converting the model, but after conversion, it gave me models for OpenVINO versions 2021.4 or 2022.1. Are there other ways to convert the model for newer versions, or are these two versions the only options for me? If anyone has resources for converting YOLOv8 models and deploying them to the camera, please share them with me.

Hi @siromer
IIRC the latest version possible is 2022.1, since the MX model compiler doesn't support newer versions.
Is the older version causing you issues?

Thanks

When I checked the OpenVINO documentation, I saw a message saying something like, "This version is too old; users should use newer versions." So, I tried using newer OpenVINO versions (2023.0, 2024.1), but I couldn't convert the model to these versions. From your message, I understand that I should install older versions like 2022.1 or 2021.4 on my computer. Am I right?

I am a complete beginner. Thanks for helping me @jakaskerl.
