About PhotoPrism
PhotoPrism swapped in an ONNX vision pipeline, then opened the library to 360° media at 16K.
Two substantial releases in ten weeks moved the product on both axes it cares about. May replaced the legacy Pigo face detector entirely with an ONNX-based pipeline, made vision.yml accept model identifiers from Hugging Face, Ollama and OpenAI-compatible catalogs, and modernised media handling with Vulkan transcoding, a native HEIC/AVIF reader and layered TIFF and PSD support. July added interactive equirectangular 360° photos and video, raised the thumbnail and video ceiling to 16K, and put an inline multi-page PDF viewer in the app.
