A pretrained bean species classifier that sorts an image into one of 10 categories — what species of bean it is. Use the bean species API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.
Drop in a photo and get the prediction back. No signup, no setup.
A sample of the 26 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.
Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.
Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:
curl
curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'Python
import requests

}Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 10 bean species categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.
Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.
Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.
The bean species identifier can be utilized by agricultural companies to ensure the quality of their bean products. By quickly classifying bean species, companies can ensure compliance with standards and avoid costly mistakes in packaging and marketing.
Distributors can use the identifier to categorize and streamline their inventory of different bean species. This data can improve logistics, enabling more efficient stock management and reducing waste due to mislabeling.
Researchers studying plant biodiversity can use the bean species identifier to accurately classify field samples. This can enhance data accuracy in ecological studies, contributing to better conservation strategies.
Developers of food apps can integrate the bean species identifier to provide users with information about the beans they purchase. Users can learn about the nutritional benefits and culinary uses of different species, promoting informed food choices.
Food safety organizations can adopt the identifier to combat food fraud in the market. By verifying the species of beans being sold, they can prevent mislabeling and protect consumers from potentially harmful substitutes.
Chefs and food technologists can leverage the identifier to explore new flavor combinations and improve recipes. Knowing the exact type of beans allows culinary professionals to experiment with various cooking techniques and presentations.
Farmers can use the identifier to select the most appropriate bean species for their specific local conditions. By assessing species that thrive in their environment, they can enhance yield while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.
Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.
No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.
No. This bean species classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.
Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.
Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
