Features
Moondream 3 — Point (Locate & Describe)
Moondream 3 Point is a vision-language model designed to identify and describe specific objects within an image using natural language. Instead of returning coordinates, it provides a concise textual description of the detected object, making it ideal for lightweight interactive queries and content understanding.
✨ Key Features
-
Locate and Describe Objects Enter a short text query (e.g., “hat”, “watch”, “phone”) and receive a natural-language description of that item in context.
-
Fast Single-Object Queries Optimized for fast, low-latency inference — perfect for real-time applications.
-
Readable Natural Output The model outputs a fluent English sentence describing the object’s appearance, position, and context.
-
Multilingual Understanding Capable of recognizing and describing objects in a wide range of visual scenarios.
⚙️ Example Usage
Locate & Describe “Hat”
{
"image": "https://example.com/photo.jpg",
"prompt": "hat"
}Example Response
{
"answer": "The woman is wearing a pink baseball cap with a strap across her forehead. She is also wearing large silver hoop earrings and a pink fuzzy sweater."
}💡 Best Practices
-
Use concise object names (e.g., “hat”, “car”, “tree”) for more accurate detection.
-
For precise bounding boxes or coordinates, use:
- Moondream 3 Detect — returns
x_min, y_min, x_max, y_maxbounding boxes. - A coordinate-enabled version of Moondream 3 Point (coming soon).
- Moondream 3 Detect — returns
-
Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
-
Maximum image size: 10 MB
💰 Pricing
- $0.001 per request
- Volume and enterprise pricing available upon request.
📝 Notes
-
The current endpoint returns descriptive text in JSON format:
{"answer": "..."}— it does not output coordinates.
-
For small or occluded objects, use higher-resolution input or switch to the Detect model for better spatial precision.
