Hugging Face’s new iOS app taps AI to describe what you’re looking at
AI startup Hugging Face has released a new app for iOS that only does one thing: uses offline, local AI to describe what's in view of your iPhone's camera.
The app, called HuggingSnap, taps Hugging Face’s in-house vision model, smolvlm2, to analyze what your phone sees in real-time without sending data off to the cloud. Point your camera and ask a question or request a description, and HuggingSnap will identify objects, explain scenes, read text, and generally try to make sense of what you’re looking at. It’s also compatible with macOS devices and the Apple Vision Pro, should you wish to use it on a laptop or headset instead.
