Booste

Run performance desktop apps from any device.

1 follower

Booste makes software that wraps around existing desktop apps (such as 3D CAD or video editing tools), runs them from a supercomputer in the cloud, and streams the experience to any device. We're bringing the convenience of the cloud to desktop software.
This is the 2nd launch from Booste. View more

CLIP API by Booste

Use OpenAI's newest image classifier with one line of code.
Booste APIs boiling all the pains of the production ML stack into a single line of code.
We're super excited to launch an API to OpenAI's powerful new no-training-needed image classifier to Python and Node. Give it a spin!

What's up Product Hunt! Second time ever launching here :) I'm Erik, the maker behind Booste. My goal is to take the entire production Machine Learning stack and boil it down to just one line of code, like Stripe did to payments and Twilio did to communications. ML-as-an-API I'm a self-taught dev myself, and love abstractions. When I dove into the MLOps world, I found a dumpsterfire... I'm going through the pains of productionizing the newest open-source models, so you don't have to. About a month ago, OpenAI released an incredibly interesting model called CLIP https://openai.com/blog/clip/ What's special about it is that it's one of the first "Zero-shot" image classifiers, meaning it can predict a connection between a class (IE: "a dog") and an image, without ever being explicitly trained on that class. The use-cases are endless: - Advanced image search - Video indexing - https://paint.wtf, an AI-judged MS paint competition - Hotdog / Not Hotdog app - Finally seeing that the dress is Black/Blue, not Gold/White I've thrown it up onto Booste for y'all to play with - free for the month of February! You can install into your python/node environments using the product link, or just run it straight away in this Colab notebook: https://colab.research.google.co... You can always reach me at erik (at) booste.io :) I want to hear about the cool stuff you build.

I built a garbage vs recycling classifier last year and by far 90% of the work was spent productionizing our model for the app (making it scalable, ensuring the frontend could call backend without crashing etc). Having an out-of-box reliable API for our use case would be incredible. Excited to see where this is going.

@morriscode Would to link up and talk about how you did it! IE onprem/cloud, Sagemaker/self, etc.

@erikdoingthings Sure, you can see the code @ https://github.com/kylejmorris/d... From what I remember, we wanted to use an inception model on a phone but it was too slow even on my laptop, so we tried SqueezeNet instead. Realized it's just going to be a pain to port the working code from laptop to phone, so we tried getting a flask server setup but bailed on it since we didn't even have the model working well yet so why productionize it (probably should have taken this route further in retrospect). Ended up just using google colab to get something roughly working, never got it on phone. Such is the tragic ending to this ML saga.

Awesome, Erik!
