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_max bounding boxes.
    • A coordinate-enabled version of Moondream 3 Point (coming soon).
  • 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.
