Pangram launched Pangram Image 1.0, an AI image and video detection model identifying 99.2% of AI-generated images with a 0.27% FPR, integrated into its Chrome extension for checking visuals anywhere on the web. The team describes key challenges: far more AI image/video models than frontier LLMs, more diverse outputs, and the fact that most phone cameras (including iPhones) apply AI postprocessing to real photos — so the model is robust to postprocessing and distinguishes AI edits from fully generated visuals. A new heatmap feature localizes AI artifacts instead of outputting a binary confidence score.
