Modifying Local Image Captioning Tools
EntropyHertz · reddit · 2026-07-13
The author forked TagPilot 2.0 to achieve local image captioning, specifically to avoid relying on cloud APIs.
They modified the app to connect to a locally hosted Gemma-4-31B model and added a few key features:
- Automatic model detection
- Single-image testing first
- Batch captioning for datasets
The author noted that integrating LM Studio wasn't smooth, prompting them to rewrite the application workflow to better accommodate local models and batch processing scenarios.
