Introducing open-source Kindwise Router Models
We’ve open-sourced the Kindwise Router — a lightweight image model that helps your app automatically decide which Kindwise API to use (Plant.id, Insect.id, Crop.health, etc.) right on the device, before anything is uploaded.
Using LLMs for Descriptions of Plants, Insects, and Fungi
We tested LLMs to improve multilingual descriptions of plants, insects, and fungi where Wikipedia entries were inadequate. GPT-4o outperformed smaller models such as GPT-4o mini and Mistral Pixtral 12B, especially in grammar and factual accuracy. It performed better in widely spoken languages and common species. In the end, GPT-4o was used to generate descriptions in 28 languages, providing better coverage for the Kindwise API.
Batch species identification from photos: plants, insects, fungi
Our new web consoles—PlantBatch, InsectBatch and MushroomBatch—let you drag-and-drop folders of up to 1 000 images per batch and receive an exportable list of species in minutes. No coding, no local servers.
Insect.id API beta release is here!
The new API enables you to identify species of terrestrial invertebrates, including insects and spiders from images using a machine-learning model. It is easy to use and we already love how it works.
