Regarding of Yolo-World

I'm trying to deploy yolov8m-worldv2 on the Metis M.2, but it fails due to an error.

Does Metis support yolov8m-worldv2?

Is it because it's a VLM model that Metis can't deploy it?

I would like to use a zero-shot model.

Thank you for your support.

Hi ​@Haruto Watanabe! YOLOv8m-worldv2 isn't currently supported, unfortunately. The Voyager SDK supports standard YOLOv8, YOLO11, and YOLO26 tasks (detection, segmentation, pose, etc.), but YOLO-World's CLIP-based text encoder can't be compiled for the AIPU right now. Ultralytics

VLM-style support is on the roadmap but I don’t currently have a timeline on it. And I suppose YOLO-World specifically isn't guaranteed to be included, although I will ask internally about that.

If your class list is fixed, a fine-tuned YOLOv8 might be worth further investigation? What's the use case?
