Show HN: Photon – Rust pipeline that embeds/tags/hashes images locally w SigLIP
pgbouncer Monday, March 02, 2026
Open-source Rust-based image processing pipeline that takes images and outputs structured JSON — 768-dim vector embeddings, semantic tags from a 68K-term vocabulary, EXIF metadata, content hashes, and thumbnails.
Everything runs locally via SigLIP + ONNX Runtime. Single binary, no Python, no Docker, no cloud dependency. Optional BYOK LLM descriptions (Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI).
Summary
Photon is an open-source neural network inference engine that aims to provide high performance and low latency inference on edge devices. It supports multiple hardware platforms and provides optimized operators for efficient deployment of deep learning models.
