About Moondream
Moondream delivers frontier vision AI engineered for scale, providing state-of-the-art visual understanding at speeds that enable continuous processing. The platform allows developers to point, detect, count, and reason about visual content without compromise, powering applications from robotics to enterprise automation.
Key Features:
- Media Tag Generation - Automatically generate tags, extract metadata, and make every image and video searchable across millions of files without manual labeling
- Smart Robotics Integration - Enable robots with visual understanding through natural language prompts like "Find the red ball" or "Is the path clear?" for flexible, adaptive behavior without retraining
- UI Automation & Testing - Understand UI elements semantically rather than relying on brittle selectors, making test automation resilient and maintainable
- Open Source Availability - Run Moondream anywhere for free with full offline capability and control over your data
- Moondream Station - Free desktop application that works with Python and Node clients, compatible with both CPU and GPU
- Moondream Cloud - Instant spin-up with no downloads or DevOps required, offering $5 in free monthly credits
- Privacy First - Never trains on user data with enterprise retention and governance options available
- Dense Grounding Tokens - Accomplish more with fewer tokens for grounding-heavy workloads
To get started, developers can either download Moondream Station for local deployment or use Moondream Cloud for instant access. The platform provides Python and Node.js clients for integration, with comprehensive documentation available. The free tier includes 2 requests per second, scaling to 10 RPS or more with paid credits.
