Hello, I am trying to train my **YOLO11s** model for object detection using my imported dataset on the **Ultralytics platform** , but I keep receiving the same error message.  
Could someone please tell me how I can resolve this issue?

Can you provide your username?

@Abir we fixed an issue around rate limiting today, I think your training should work now. Can you please try again?

Hello, thank you for your reply.  
I just tried again, but I still receive the same message. I think the issue may be related to my imported pretrained model. In fact, when I choose one of the models directly proposed by the platform, such as **YOLOv26s** , the training works correctly.

I’m not sure whether it’s possible to select the **YOLOv11** version from the list of available models, because I only see YOLOv26 in the options.

Yes — **Ultralytics Platform** supports **Ultralytics YOLO11** training, but the base-model list you see depends on the project/architecture you’re currently in. If you’re inside a YOLO26 project you’ll only see YOLO26 models; switch/create a YOLO11 project and you should see the official YOLO11 `n/s/m/l/x` options as described in the Platform **[Models](https://docs.ultralytics.com/platform/train/models/)** docs.

For the imported pretrained model: if training works with an official **YOLO26s** but fails only when you select your uploaded `.pt`, that strongly suggests the uploaded weights aren’t in a compatible Ultralytics checkpoint format (or they’re a different task like segment/pose/obb). Platform expects a native Ultralytics YOLO PyTorch `.pt` checkpoint (typically a `best.pt` from Ultralytics training), and task must match the dataset (task mismatches will fail, as noted in the Platform **[Cloud Training](https://docs.ultralytics.com/platform/train/cloud-training/)** docs).

If you can share your Platform username (like we asked earlier) + the exact error text (copy/paste) and what created that pretrained file (Ultralytics version / which repo / which task), we can check the backend logs and tell you precisely why that `.pt` is being rejected.

Is it your own custom model? I tested uploading pretrained YOLO11s and training works fine.

Maybe @Abir means that YOLO11 isn’t a default official model in the New Model dialog.

@Abir yes I think I understand, the YOLO11 models are not shown in the official models section in the + New Model dialog. I’ll work on a fix for this today to make it easier to train from YOLO11.

@Abir all set! You can now select YOLO11 models in the Train New Model dialog like this:
