I would say that while Google's MediaPipe can technically run any tflite model, it turned out to be a lot more difficult to do in practice with third-party models compared to the "officially supported" models like Gemma-3n. I was trying to set up a VLM inference pipeline using a SmolVLM model. Even after converting it to a tfilte-compatible binary, I struggled to get it working and then once it did work, it was super slow and was obviously missing some hardware acceleration.

I have not looked at OP's work yet, but if it makes the task easier, I would opt for that instead of Google's "MediaPipe" API.
