@@ -227,6 +227,23 @@ The command downloads the job's `model.tar.gz`, finds `model.onnx`, uploads it t
 compilation, validation, and profiling. The uploaded source model uses the configured
 `aihub.model_name`.
 
+The training example sanitizes the Ultralytics ONNX export before saving `model.onnx`. This removes graph input or
+output names, such as `output0`, that are duplicated in the ONNX `value_info` metadata and rejected by AI Hub.
+
+For a model already downloaded by a failed upload attempt, sanitize the extracted ONNX file and retry using the local
+model. Replace the job name in both paths:
+
+```bash
+uv run --with onnx python examples/meter-detection/source/sanitize_onnx.py \
+  build/qai-hub/meter-detection/qc-cli-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS/source/extracted/model.onnx \
+  --output build/qai-hub/meter-detection/model.aihub.onnx
+
+qc-cli ai-hub upload \
+  examples/meter-detection/data/aihub_calibration \
+  examples/meter-detection/data/inputs.npz \
+  --onnx-path build/qai-hub/meter-detection/model.aihub.onnx
+```
+
 If the meter-detection job is still the last training job in `.qc-cli.json`, `--from-job` can be omitted. Keeping it
 explicit prevents accidentally uploading an artifact from a different training run.
