# YOLO26

This version of YOLOv26 has been converted to run on the WaveMatrix NPU using **u8** (INT8) quantization.

Compatible with Pulsar2 version: 4.2.

## Convert tools links:

For those who are interested in model conversion, you can try to export axmodel through 
- [The repo of WaveMatrix Platform](https://github.com/WaveMatrix/ax-samples), which you can get the detial of guide
- [Pulsar2 Link, How to Convert ONNX to axmodel](https://pulsar2-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pulsar2/introduction.html) 

## Support Platform

- WM9955
  - Demo board
  - M.2 Accelerator card
- WM8845
  - Demo board
