Hello,

It sounds like you're encountering an intriguing issue with your model's behavior between validation and prediction. Here are a couple of things you might want to check:

1. Ensure Consistency in Image Preprocessing: Sometimes, discrepancies in how images are preprocessed between training/validation and inference can lead to such issues. Make sure that the same transformations and normalizations are applied.

2. Check Confidence Thresholds: The model.predict() method might be using a higher confidence threshold by default compared to what model.val() used. Try lowering the confidence threshold in your predict call:

   results = model.predict('path/to/images', conf=0.25)  # Adjust the confidence threshold

3. Model State: Ensure that the model is correctly loading the weights and is in evaluation mode during inference:

   model = YOLO('
