Open-Source Zero-Shot Image Model Server Enabling Model Feedback
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…

This is an open source implementation of DirectAI's core service, provided both to give back to the open source community that we benefited greatly from, as well as to allow our clients to continue to have service in the event that we can no longer host our API. We host zero-shot image models to allow clients to use computer vision at scale without having to collect / label lots of training data or train their own model. However, zero-shot models don't necessarily work out of the box for all cases. We introduce an algorithm for providing feedback to zero-shot models by extending the standard linear decision boundary in the model's embedding space into a two-stage nearest neighbors…from github.com

Build an open-source computer vision model in seconds using text2023 · usezeroshot.com · ▲64Hello HN! I want to share something me and a few friends have been working on for a while now — Zeroshot, a web tool that builds image classifiers using text-image models and autolabeling. What does this mean in practice? You can put together an image classifier in about 30 seconds that’s faster and more accurate than CLIP, but that you can deploy yourself however you’d like. It’s open source, commercially licensed, and doesn’t require you to pay anyone per API call. Here's a 2 minute video that shows it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4R1gtmM-Lo How/why does it…


Open-source AI video editor2025 · github.com · ▲268Hey HN community! I'm one of the lead devs of this project at fal.ai and we created an open source lightweight video editor powered by the latest media AI models. The main goal was to tackle some challenges when dealing with complex media handling and encoding on the browser. It all started as an internal experiment but as we tackled some of the issues it was clear there could be some value sharing it with the open source community. Some of the key points and tech stack details: - It uses IndexedDb, so all data is local (i.e. no auth, no cloud db) - Multiple AI models for video, image, music…
Moonshine Open-Weights STT models – higher accuracy than WhisperLargev3Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲316I 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.
- BVBenchmarking VLMs vs. Traditional OCR2025 · getomni.ai · ▲146
Vision models have been gaining popularity as a replacement for traditional OCR. Especially with Gemini 2.0 becoming cost competitive with the cloud platforms. We've been continuously evaluating different models since we released the Zerox package last year (https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox). And we wanted to put some numbers behind it. So we’re open sourcing our internal OCR benchmark + evaluation datasets. Full writeup + data explorer here: https://getomni.ai/ocr-benchmark Github: https://github.com/getomni-ai/benchmark Huggingface:…

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…
