classifier.dev launches free keyless zero-shot text classification API, claims to beat Jev
altryne · x · 2026-09-19
classifier.dev offers zero-shot text classification over plain HTTP with no API key or signup — a curl works immediately.
- Agent-ready: paste a provided prompt into any coding agent (or npx skills add https://classifier.dev) to install the skill; an OpenAPI 3.1 spec and llms.txt make it machine-consumable.
- CLI: npm i -g classifier-dev supports batch classification (1000 lines per request) and confidence-gated review (--review 0.7).
- Benchmark: running on Jev, its smart tier re-asks only uncertain items, lifting AG News from 87.5% to 90.0% (+18.4 on unsure items) and emotion from 65.3% to 62.7%, measured live on 2026-09-18.
