I’m Mughees, an AI/software engineer, and I’m new here. 👋</p> <p>I’m working on <strong>LangVio</strong>, an open-source Python project for querying images and videos in natural language. The idea is simple: describe what you want to find, and get an annotated result with an explanation.</p> <p>For example: <strong>“Find the person wearing glasses.”</strong></p> <p>The current default pipeline uses Qwen-VL through OpenRouter for query parsing, object grounding, and explanations. There’s a web interface for trying things out, alongside the Python API and CLI.</p> <h2> Give it a try </h2> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>pip <span class="nb">install </span>langvio </code></pre> </div> <p>Set your <code>OPENROUTER_API_KEY</code> and follow the setup instructions in the repository:</p> <p><strong>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/MugheesMehdi07/langvio" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/MugheesMehdi07/langvio</a></strong></p> <p>I’d love feedback from people working with computer vision, VLMs, or video applications:</p> <ul> <li>Which queries would you try first?</li> <li>Where do the results fall short?</li> <li>What would make the API or setup easier to use?</li> </ul> <p>Bug reports, ideas, and contributions are all welcome. If you find the project useful, a ⭐ on GitHub would mean a lot and help others discover it.</p> <p>Looking forward to learning from this community and sharing more of what I’m building!</p> opensource python ai showdev
