July 2017 Summaries

Clarifai has upgraded its video recognition feature from the v1 API to the v2 API, transitioning from beta to general availability, allowing all users to benefit from the latest enhancements. The v2 API retains all previous functionalities and introduces new features, offering improved accuracy and expanded infrastructure for faster responses. Users can utilize various public models like General, Apparel, Food, and more, with video inputs processed at a rate of 1 frame per second. This allows for detailed video analysis and moderation, with each frame equating to one operation, similar to their image recognition pricing model. The introduction of these capabilities aims to enhance workflows and user experiences, and users are encouraged to explore the new API through the provided Documentation Guide and web demo.

Clarifai's Mobile SDK, now generally available for both Android and iOS, revolutionizes on-device machine learning by enabling both training and inference without the need for cloud connectivity. This advancement allows AI technology to be integrated directly into mobile devices, providing users with personalized experiences and real-time responses, regardless of internet access. By leveraging the computing power of mobile phones, the SDK democratizes AI, making it accessible to all, including those in areas with limited connectivity. The technology supports a variety of applications like content moderation, visual search, and smart device interactions, and has been partnered with i-Nside to enhance medical diagnostics in underserved regions. With the ability to learn and improve autonomously, these AI-powered devices can later share their accumulated knowledge across networks, further enhancing their capabilities when reconnected to the cloud.
