Teachable Machine .h5 Won't Load

Keras
, ,
#1

I’m attempting to use an exported Teachable Machine .h5 locally in a Python program, but none of the sample programs from Google will load the model without a deserialization error. I have Tensorflow 2.16.0rc0 and Keras 3.0.5 installed. I’m using a new installation of VSCode and Python.

Code:
from keras.models import load_model # TensorFlow is required for Keras to work

from PIL import Image, ImageOps # Install pillow instead of PIL

import numpy as np

Disable scientific notation for clarity

np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)

Load the model

model = load_model(“keras_model.h5”, compile=False)

Error:

Even I had the similar error.

I have the exact same issue and I cannot figure out why it’s not working.

I solved the problem by downgrading tensorflow to 2.12, feel free to try

Any solutions here? I have the same problem.

Had the same issue. The problem is the code that teachable machine gives (for .h5) is for older version of tensorflow. As Ajonn mentioned, downgrading it to an older version (2.12 for example) solves the issue. Also make sure that you are working with ( Python 3.8–3.11). It’s not supported for older or newer versions.
