YOLO architecture

Hi, I want to do object detection using YOLO. I have some real confusion regarding the usage of yaml and .pt file. Kindly reply the following questions,

  1. I have changed the architecture of yolov11 and I want to compare with unmodified version. I know I have to build the model with yaml file for modified version but for comparison shall I also build the model with unmodified yaml file or use .pt file instead?
  2. If I use .pt file and then compare it with the unmodified version of yaml file the results are drastically different. Which is the correct way to guage the architecture change?
