July Update

Progress Update

I've just released version the beta version of the positions model for VIP patron's to start using. This model will continue to evolve but many of the tags have achieved high accuracy and I wanted to get it into your hands.

Stash AI Overhaul Plugin Development Underway

On the stash plugin development side of things, there's been a lot of interesting things happening under the scenes. I've been working on a large scale "AI Overhaul" plugin for stash that will be able to utilize the AI models I've already built to a much greater extent. This plugin can also serve as a one-stop-shop for all AI additions to stash and will be able to integrate with other projects like visage for performer face recognition. One of the goals for this project is to create smart recommendation systems to use all the data that the AI's generate to be able to find content similar to other content you like, to be able to find new content you might like suited to your tastes, to be able to more effectively search and filter for something specific, and many other similar use-cases. This will be a pretty large project and will definitely be something that will grow overtime so don't expect all of these things at first launch.

With my AI models, from the very beginning of creating them I've built them with this use-case in mind of using the data for recommendation systems. As many of you may have noticed, there are some tags (like "Face") for example that may not be super useful for creating a marker or a scene tag. However tags like this can be extremely valuable to paint a broader picture of what's going on in an image or scene and can make recommendation systems far more capable.

For the developers out there, the goal for the recommendation systems part of this project is to make everything modular so that many many different backend recommendation systems can be developed and people can try out different ones and see which ones work best for them.

MidnightRider's Amazing Marker Review Tool

In community development news, MidnightRider (A long time supporter and developer) has created a fantastic tool that many of you may find useful:

https://github.com/MinasukiHikimuna/stash-marker-studio

This is a tool designed for manual review and creation of markers. The AI models I've made generally have very high accuracy. However they can and do make mistakes sometimes and it'll never be possible to make an AI that doesn't make some mistakes. For those of you that are interested in reviewing and eliminating mistakes or creating further custom markers, this tool is the perfect way to do so. It makes the process of reviewing and modifying markers far easier than with the built-in stash UI. In addition, the tool has an option that allows you to mark an AI generated marker as incorrect and then you can select the "Collect AI Feedback" button at the end of processing a video and all of the incorrect markers will have data collected on them. You can send this data to me in discord and I can use that data to make the model significantly less likely to make mistakes on content like that in the future.

More info to come on the Stash plugin and the positions full release in the coming months.

Thanks for the continued support!
