What it does

Unified model that outperforms SoTA specialist models on various vision tasks! By treating 2D/3D vision tasks as image generation, we unlock a new foundation for CV.

Vision Banana: A generalist model built by instruction-tuning Nano Banana Pro, achieving state-of-the-art on segmentation, depth, and surface normal tasks.

Hover over any image to reveal Vision Banana's generation results. On mobile, tap to toggle. Vision Banana's metric depth predictions can be unprojected into 3D point clouds, revealing the full scene geometry. This step requires camera intrinsics, which are available in some datasets. Vision Banana achieves state-of-the-art under the zero-shot transfer setting across 2D and 3D vision tasks.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
