Vertex AI AutoML tflite models not working on Coral dev board any more

[bernhardknapp]

Hi,

I have a problem that my recently trained models on Vertex AI/Ml for object detection are not working on my coral boards any more. All trainings older than a couple of weeks are working fine. It doesn't matter if I use the natove tflite model exported from Google Cloud or a compiled version for edge TPU. Same result, inference script is aborting.
Was there any change in the model design recently ? Any Idea how to make the new model work ?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Bernhard

Hi @bernhardknapp,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

I understand that you’re having an issue with Vertex AI AutoML for object detection. 

According to this release notes dated June 18, 2024: 

Starting on September 15, 2024, you can only customize classification, entity extraction, and sentiment analysis objectives by moving to Vertex AI Gemini prompts and tuning. Training or updating models for Vertex AI AutoML for Text classification, entity extraction, and sentiment analysis objectives will no longer be available. You can continue using existing Vertex AI AutoML Text models until June 15, 2025. For more information about how Gemini offers enhanced user experience through improved prompting capabilities, see Overview of model tuning for Gemini.

With that being said, I suggest checking the overview of model tuning for Gemini.

I hope the above information is helpful.
