Additional Information:

Hi @ereichPwc - due to some recent policy changing around hosting third party models, YOLOX is no longer available as a built-in block.

I checked to see if we could release the GitHub repo containing the YOLOX code so that you could bring the model back into the platform yourself using a custom learning block. Unfortunately, I can’t do that at this time either.

The YOLOX block was specific to Texas Instrument devices. Are you deploying to a TI device? If not, YOLOv5 may be a suitable alternative for you. We do have an example showing how to bring YOLOv5 back into the platform through a custom learning block.
