super exciting update! check it out:

Listening for Frogs at Scale: How FrogID Evaluated NatureLM-Audio on Real-World Data - Earth Species Project FrogID, the world’s largest frog-focused citizen science project, tested Earth Species Project’s open-source NatureLM-audio model to help automate the validation of frog vocalizations submitted by the...

FrogID tested our NatureLM-audio model to help verify frog calls from the public. Even without fine-tuning, it could save 300+ hrs of work yearly— and it even excelled on tasks it wasn't trained for. 🐸💡

📢 We've open-sourced NatureLM-audio, the first audio-language foundation model for #bioacoustics.

Trained on large-scale animal vocalization, human speech & music datasets, the model enables zero-shot classification, detection & querying across diverse species & environments 👇🏽

This rocks

AVES is now pip-installable 🎉

This self-supervised, transformer-based model is pretrained on large-scale animal vocalization datasets & thanks to our incredible engineering team is now more accessible than ever–ready to run with just a single command.
