Products that do what Open-Source Zero-Shot Image Model Server Enabling Model Feedback does
Hi everyone! Here is an open source implementation of a decently performant server hosting zero-shot image models (CLIP for image classification, OWL-ViT-ST for object detection), with an extra algorithm to allow users to give the models feedback when they make mistakes! We built a company off this flavor of tech two years ago and have clients who are currently using our commercial API. We are now moving on to other projects but want to make sure our clients still have access to the approaches that they've grown to rely on, so we're open sourcing a simple implementation that they'll be able…

Starting today, DirectAI’s Zero-Shot Image Classification & Object Detection APIs are public. Define classes and objects exclusively in natural language - no training data required. And if something goes wrong, you can resolve the edge case in natural language too! We’ve been hard at work to bring powerful and controllable computer vision to everybody. To do this, we’re building novel ways of interacting with the knowledge stored in large foundation models. We’re bootstrapping from zero-shot methods to create new approaches that allow for more control over decision boundaries, without…

Hi All, I’ve been working on an open-source SDK to make collecting user feedback on your website less painful. Instead of wasting time on building your own feedback system and boring forms, my SDK lets users leave feedback directly on your website—with all the context devs actually need. Here’s what it currently does: Users can select any element on the page Auto-captures logs, metadata & screenshots Sends instant notifications (Slack, Discord, etc.) Lets you reward users → boosts engagement & conversions Gives users a tracking link → builds accountability & trust Self-host + customize the…

I wanted to build an inference provider for proprietary AI models, but I did not have a huge GPU farm. I started experimenting with Serverless AI inference, but found out that coldstarts were huge. I went deep into the research and put together an engine that loads large models from SSD to VRAM up to ten times faster than alternatives. It works with vLLM, and transformers, and more coming soon. With this project you can hot-swap entire large models (32B) on demand. Its great for: Serverless AI Inference Robotics On Prem deployments Local Agents And Its open source. Let me know if anyone…

I was surprised to learn that open source model providers never get feedback/reports from their actual end-users. Once you publish your OS model, you only get feedback from technical users who find the HF community tab or manage to email you directly. I wanted an easy way to tell the model provider mid conversation that their model sucks & why. I've been working on ModelSignature, a system that embeds a feedback URL (a “Model Signature”), directly into model weights using LoRA fine-tuning. Users can ask the chatbot "where can I report issues?" and the model responds with its…

We’re open-sourcing FASHN VTON v1.5, a production-grade virtual try-on model. Given an image of a person and an image of a garment, the model generates a photorealistic try-on result. Model specs: - It operates directly in pixel space (no VAE) - Supports maskless inference by default, and was trained from scratch. - ~972M parameters, runs on consumer GPUs - Can run in ~5 seconds on H100 We built this as a focused alternative to large generalist models, with the goal of making a production-grade, specialized virtual try-on model. We’re releasing the weights, inference code, and architecture…

Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant…

Hey HN, I built Blooming, a visual AI workspace where you drag-and-drop “nodes” (text, image, video) onto a whiteboard and chain AI text, image and video models together. It's kinda like n8n but for AI art: • Node-based canvas • Multi-model switching (test different models side by side and iterate multiple versions) • Pipe text or image output to other nodes to refine prompts, turn them into videos or explain images Demo link: https://youtu.be/TdFzhxeRFNg I’d love your feedback on UI clarity, performance, and which models to integrate next. What’s confusing or missing for AI…

Hi there, looking for feedback on my new project "Featherless.AI" The idea is to allow users to run all the models on hugging face instantly. Via the OpenAI API compatible endpoint. Why? Because its a real chore to download models and spin up GPUs, especially if you want to test multiple models. Not to mention GPUs cost multiple dollars an hour to rent. And if we want more people to use open source AI, we got to make it easier for them to try and play with all of them. So what if instead of spinning up dedicated GPUs per model (which is what every provider is doing) We can startup a LLM…

Hi everyone, wanted to share about gline-rs, an inference engine for GLiNER models written in Rust. This family of lightweight language models proved to be efficient at zero-shot Named Entity Recognition (NER) and other tasks such as Relation Extraction, while consuming less resources than large generative models (LLMs). This implementation has been written from the ground up in Rust, and supports both span- and token-oriented variants (for inference only). The goal is to provide a production-grade and user-friendly API in a modern and safe programming language, including a clean and…

The vision plugin for OpenCode that truly understands images. Inspect, read, and reason about any screenshot or picture with deeper understanding than any other plugin — fully local, private, and free. Normally, it takes 300ms to analyse one image on my laptop, which is pretty fast for a local vision model. I use moondream2 as my vision model, you can set your custom model like moondream3.1 if you have a good GPU (for comparison I have currently have an RTX 3050). It works cross-platform. Just follow the README. If you like my work, you leave me a tip as an act for supporting open source!!…

Hey HN! I just released a suite of AI models for deployment on UAV and other "overhead" devices to provide some understanding of the world below. The objective is to empower all sorts of open-source use cases around search and rescue, wildfire prevention, ground risk mitigation for flight over populated areas etc... The neural networks are trained for a bunch of different devices from big GPUs to tiny edge AI cameras like the Luxonis OAK, with some optimised ones for Nvidia TensorRT and other cool bits and pieces too. The main release package also includes some boilerplate code for running…

Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…

Hi guys, I’m excited to share an update on ReproModel, an open-source toolbox designed to streamline the testing and reproduction of machine learning models. I, like many of you, have really struggled with benchmarking and comparing models, from missing code, to opaque experiment parameters slowing the process. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and created a mini-toolbox in my free time to streamline the process. The goal is to reduce the time and effort spent on replicating experiments, enabling researchers to focus on innovation rather than setup. Knowing this task is not an…

Dear HN, this is Alex, cofounder of Moonvision, an Austrian based computer vision company. We started in 2017 tracking grilled chicken at the Oktoberfest Munich [1] and transitioned into automating visual inspections tasks. Our web tools are used by quality assurance experts to manage training data and create custom models without an external workforce. For such tasks and experts, the effort to label data is often prohibitive. Therefore, we built tools that work with low amounts of initial data. To train a new pipeline we cover the following 6 steps: - Video gathering - Object mining -…
