Hugging Face’s new iOS app taps AI to describe what you’re looking at

AI Startup Hugging Face, just something has left a new application for iOS: uses offline, local AI, iPhone uses your iPhone camera images.

Application, called HuggingsnapClick on your phone’s internal vision model, Smolvlm2, to analyze that your phone is seen in real time without sending news from the cloud. Take your camera and ask a question or require a comment and determine the HuggingsNap objects, will explain the views, read the views and try to read the text and explain the text and usually look at the text.

The concept is certainly not the novel. Many AI-powered apps – and Apple’s Apple’s own Apple Intelligence Set EU-energy features – can do the same. As HuggingsNap embraces the face notes in the App Store describe, Huggingsnap works offline, energy is efficient and processing all the information on your phone.

“It is useful in studying or exploring your surroundings, or simply exploring your environment,” he said. “HuggingsNap brings Smart Vision AI to your iPhone.”

Huggingsnap requires iOS 18 or later. Instead, if you want to use a laptop or headset, it is also suitable for MacOS devices and Apple Vision Pro.
