The reality of that specific ask is it would not be difficult to build, but I believe it would be extremely difficult to build and offer at a price that users would pay for. So you're unlikely to find a commercial offering that does that using a (V)LM.
Yeah I imagine so. Hell I would pay like $100 for them to just do it once. If they really could do it with like 99% accuracy I would pay upwards of $300 tbh. Still, that’s probably not good enough lol

azure vision / "cognitive services" can do this for literally a few bucks
am i even on hacker news? how do people not know there are optimized models for specific use cases? not everything (nor should it) has to run through an LLM

This is hardly the fluid, turn key solution I am talking about, so I don’t know why you’re talking like this to me and acting like the answer is so obvious. Frankly your tone was rude and unnecessary. Not everyone on HN shares the same knowledge and experience about all the same subjects, let alone all the ones you expect all of us to know.

I made this as a first step in the process of organizing large amounts of images. Once you have the keywords and descriptions in the metadata, it should be possible to have a more powerful text only LLM come up with an organizing scheme and enact it by giving it file or scripting access via MCP. Thanks for reminding me that I need to work on that step now since local LLMs are powerful enough.
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Perceptual Hash. I have a Python script that does just this I did a million years ago: https://gist.github.com/base698/42d24be9309520fe8ad768844868...
I used it to match frames between different quality video streams. Operates on gray scale.
I’m not sure this is entirely what you’re driving at, but the example I always think of in my head is “I want an AI agent that will scan through my 20 to 30,000 photos, remove all the duplicates, then organize them all in some coherent fashion.” that’s the kind of service I need right now, and it feels like something AI should be able to do, yet I have not encountered anything that remotely accomplishes this task. I’m still using Dupe Guru and depending on the ref system to not scatter my stuff all over further.
Sidebar, if anybody has any recommendations for this, I would love to hear them lol
