@guanning03 the YOLOv3 repository primarily focuses on the codebase and functionality, which might be why you see YOLOv5 checkpoints referenced. The pretrained YOLOv3 checkpoints are typically hosted separately. You can check the official YOLOv3 release page or related Ultralytics GitHub repositories for access to YOLOv3 weights. If you have further questions, the YOLO community and Ultralytics team are great resources.
