So, could you use this to solve the image recognition captcha's that ask you to select all images that contain [object]?

Maybe they will make you do a Captcha before you access the API?

LOL. The API requires you to first identify all of the objects in a different picture.

That's how they train the API!

No, other people ARE the API!

It's a ponzapi scheme.

You're saying it's a kind of soylent green of APIs?

So then you bootstrap that using another api key :)

It's captchas all the way down. :)

Mutual recursion ;)

They can make you (or your customers) solve a captcha before each API call.

At that point the data will have likely gone full circle. So, maybe.

-- Edit: Strike that. They're not actually providing any model data afaict. I assumed this was comparable to AWS's offering.

They have pretrained weights from the COCO dataset included with the open source models.
