No People found

Question

I have been working an an Imac 5K for 8 years and since the introduction of the face recognition mask in Lightroom classic, it has worked flawlessly even finding and masking people and faces which were pretty small in a picture.
However, I very recently switched to a MAC Ultra M1 and did a clean install of all my adobe suite apps (No Migration but proper installation). Since installation, Lightroom classic is working lightning fast with very fluid navigation, ultra fast process of images, noise etc... BUT, unfortunately, most of the times, Lightroom does not find people, even on portrait where people are looking at the camera with a open and clean face.
The only time it works i would say, it's when the faces are about a quarter of the size of the photo. If faces are smaller like in a full body group photo, Lightroom does not find faces.
Why is that? Is there a fix to that? Is it. bug or is it due to the M1 ultra chip or GPU?

Thanks for anyone's help.

I am having the same problem.  It's not consistent.  The majority of the time it works fine but I have specific photoshoots where the talent is obviously visible and isolated filling the frame and LRC doesn't find "people" in any of the photos.  I'm running the Apple M2 Max w/32g memory.  It's super frustrating because it completely ruins my portrait workflow (1st world problems, I know).  I've developed a masking workflow based on the "find people" feature so when it doesn't work my delivery to client is delayed serveral days if not weeks when I have to touch up manually.  There is no solution for my issue on the web that I've found.
