Show HN: Sisi – Semantic Image Search CLI tool, locally without third party APIs

I wrote this tool to get familiar with CLIP model, I know many people have written similar tools with CLIP before, but I'm new to machine learning and writing a classic tool helps my study.

The unusual thing with my version is, it is in pure Node.js, with the power of node-mlx, a Node.js machine learning framework.

The repo in the link is mostly about implementing indexing and CLI, the code of the model implementation lives as a Node.js module: https://github.com/frost-beta/clip .

Hope this helps other learners!

In russian, "sisi" is a variation of "tits".

Is there a job/services that confirm that branding is appropriate across different languages? Seems like a non trivial problem to solve.

Uses only 1 core 100% under linux, can this be changed?

10 images, each ~20 kb size, took more than 10 minutes to index, is that normal without GPU-acceleration?

It's definitely not a good name in English either

That is sad, the name sisi comes from the sisi empress: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria

No it is not normal, I only tested x64/arm64 macs, I will try on linux.

Sounds like something one might try to train an AI to do :)

I have made similar android app for semantic image search, works offline too, still gathering feedback and polishing UI, but it works, if you are brave enough here is it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tE0cY6umj5h5zCY_Jvaou1M8sCf...
