Moonshine – open-source, pretrained ML models for satellite

In plain words

Moonshine is an open-source collection of pretrained machine learning vision models designed for satellite and aerial imagery analysis. Unlike standard computer vision models trained on natural images, Moonshine's models are pretrained on multispectral satellite data, supporting multiple image channels beyond the typical three. It addresses a gap in remote sensing by providing accessible, easy-to-use pretrained weights that reduce training data requirements and accelerate model development for geospatial applications.

From the sources

Moonshine is a Python library that makes it easy for remote sensing researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts to develop ML models on their data. It provides pre-trained models across a variety of datasets and architectures, allowing you to reduce your labeling costs and compute requirements for your own application. Pretrained on multispectral data : Many existing packages are pretrained with ImageNet or similar RGB images. Using Moonshine you can unlock the full power of satellites that many contain many channels of multispectral data. Pretrained on remote sensing data : Pretraining in the domain of your data is important, and most off the shelf pretrained models are fit to natural…from moonshineai.readthedocs.io

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HackerNews, Today I'd like to share my open source project, Moonshine! Pretrained vision models are a popular way to reduce how much data you need and to speed up training, but for remote sensing (i.e. aerial, satellite) it can be a challenge to find good weights. Why use Moonshine? 1. Pretrained on multispectral…

  Moonshine Open-Weights STT models – higher accuracy than WhisperLargev3Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲316

  I wanted to share our new speech to text model, and the library to use them effectively. We're a small startup (six people, sub-$100k monthly GPU budget) so I'm proud of the work the team has done to create streaming STT models with lower word-error rates than OpenAI's largest Whisper model. Admittedly Large v3 is a couple of years old, but we're near the top the HF OpenASR leaderboard, even up against Nvidia's Parakeet family. Anyway, I'd love to get feedback on the models and software, and hear about what people might build with it.

  Hi HN! We're Gabriel & Viraj, and we're excited to open source TensorZero. To be a little cheeky, TensorZero is an open-source platform that helps LLM applications graduate from API wrappers into defensible AI products. 1. Integrate our model gateway 2. Send metrics or feedback 3. Unlock compounding improvements in quality, cost, and latency It enables a data & learning flywheel for LLMs by unifying: • Inference: one API for all LLMs, with <1ms P99 overhead • Observability: inference & feedback → your database • Optimization: better prompts, models, inference strategies • Experimentation:…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT▲688

  I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
