AI Enabled Photo Gallery

This app took me about 2 days of coding effort. (And about 36 hours of GPU time on my Orin AGX ). All images were processed for semantic similarity allowing for natural language searches of the images. Images are scored by distance from the query. Clicking an image will search for images similar to the one selected. I can not imagine the amount of time it would take me to do this by hand.

Features:

• Customized AI Model for image to text description (via LoRA)
• Go lang http/API backend, Vanilla HTML/JS/CSS frontend
• Open source based AI embeddings model
• Sqlite Vector search database for optimized embedding searches.
• All AI running at home on Nvidia Orin AGX 64GB and/or Mac M4 Mini
• Processed over 16,000 photographs I’ve made over 20 years.
• English language search of all images…
• Facial recognition/matching for searching on specific people

Thanks to:

• Ollama (https://ollama.com/) for making running models locally nice and easy.
• Sqlite Vec (https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec) for saving me a bunch of time
