Why we stopped chasing YOLO

A roughly 72-NP path did not fit a 32-NP target.

An early YOLO-style direction mapped to roughly 72 neural processors while the AKD1500 target has 32. That is an architectural mismatch when the requirement is one card / one pass.

Industrial inspection also knows its allowed classes beforehand. VORSA-M3 therefore optimises for local overlap, fixed hardware and explicit mapping tests instead of YOLO compatibility.

V6 fits at 18/32 NPs in the documented mapping check. This is a fit result, not yet a real-image accuracy result.
