Skimmed through. Article says "Yahoo is the only one that is completely free to use but is self hosted hence not included in this" Is the set that yahoo released long ago the only self hosted option available? I have several projects that might end up using some of the yahoo release in order to stay self hosted. I can't imagine telling all users that we share all their pics with these third parties to check up on the…

stevenicr your'e right in that regard. Yahoo is the only one who has provided an on premises solution which is really sad. Even they haven't released the dataset of their images just the model. If more of these companies released open source models on a frequent basis we would all have less objectionable content on the internet.

I guess the reason companies haven't done that and the reason Yahoo isn't really good is because it's difficult to constantly keep updating a model that's already been "released".

Great comparison, and thanks for the review, happy being in the TOP-5 :). It seems, though, Sightengine's scores on the SFW category were swapped. The detailed google sheet lists the NSFW "raw" scores, not the "safe" scores.

looking into it, I will update the results if I find an error!

This is very cool comparison. I would really like folks at Netflix/Amazon to take this and build a feature that auto-skips through non-PG rated content so you can watch some of otherwise very great movie/TV content with very young kids. For example, StarTrek. They can call this feature "PGify" :).

Also, the 3rd chart in "Overall Comparison" has a #REF! label

So the scenes where they kill each other are okay but God forbid a nipple? That's sick...

Check out the "links to original images" sections as they are incorrect ~50% of the time. The name above the blurred image does not correspond to the link name.

I'm aware of the issue, and trying to fix it. But medium won't let me make any edits. Since I originally published the blog have been in constant touch with their support but they all seem to be away for thanksgiving. Just keep getting the error "Oops! Something happened to Medium. We’ll fix it as soon as we can."
