Moondream

Moondream (2024) by vikhyat

A tiny VLM you can run on a laptop CPU and still caption a photo.

A vision model that fits in a USB stick's shadow.

Moondream made 'what is in this image?' a local, cheap call. HA, Immich, and scripts use it because it is small.

Opened tiny local vision-language.
