Version 6.0.1

[Blue Iris Update Bot]

AI services are now BUILT-IN! And extremely fast on capable hardware. No more requirement to install or rely on external software for this. As this was such a major update, it is currently “beta” by installing from the Check for News and Updates button under “another previous update”.

Components are now initialized “as needed” so there may be an initial delay on first inferences. Also be mindful of memory usage on slower systems as a backlog of requests can cause memory spikes. Manage the number of concurrent requests with the “max connects” setting on Settings/AI.

Not having any luck downloading the new models though.

Very odd naming scheme: 6.0.1 has been out for about 6 days now (12/10/2025), but this seems to be 6.0.1.0, released today (12/16/2025), and has none of the update notes (AI bulit-in, etc..) shown above when viewed in the changelog link. I'll hold out for another couple of days personally.

They downloaded and installed for me.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, no @MikeLud custom models here (ipcam-dark, ipcam-animal, ipcam-combined, ipcam-general)? Ugh...like starting over from scratch with AI.

Yep definitely holding off until things settle out

The models seem to be working well, but it does break the alert connection to Charlie's ALPR database app.

Once I upgrade to 6.0.1 I will see what I can do with getting my models to work

I am trying to upgrade to 6.0.1 and it is not showing available, I even download the upgrade file from Blue Iris's web site and it is still 6.0.0.1. How did you upgrade?

In the first thread it says this

Here's a screenshot of the new AI tab.

I just installed 6.0.1 and with my RTX 5090 speed is terrible

Speeds didn't change much with my built-in Intel UHD graphics.
