A pretrained constellations classifier that sorts an image into one of 10 categories — what constellation it belongs to. Use the constellations 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 44 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

}Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 10 constellations 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 'constellations' identifier can assist astronomers and astrophysicists in classifying celestial images captured through telescopes. By accurately identifying constellation patterns in images, researchers can better understand star distribution and cosmic structures.
Educational platforms can leverage the constellations identifier to create interactive learning experiences for students studying astronomy. By using the function in mobile apps, students can explore and identify constellations in their night sky through augmented reality, enhancing engagement and learning outcomes.
Developers of mobile applications focused on stargazing can integrate the constellations identifier to provide users with real-time identification of constellations in the night sky. This feature enhances user experience and encourages outdoor exploration and learning about astronomy.
The 'constellations' identifier can be utilized in the creative industry to classify and curate celestial-themed artwork and media. Artists can use the function to gain insights into different constellations, ensuring their creative pieces align with astronomical accuracy.
Planetariums can implement the constellations identifier in their digital projection systems to enhance live shows and exhibitions. By accurately classifying and displaying constellations based on visitor input, planetariums can tailor experiences to individual audiences, increasing engagement.
The constellations identifier can aid in developing advanced navigation systems that utilize celestial bodies for positioning. This application is particularly pertinent for maritime and aeronautical industries, where visual alignment with constellations can supplement traditional GPS techniques.
Environmental scientists can employ the constellations identifier to analyze the impact of light pollution on visibility of celestial patterns. By comparing historical images with current data, the function can provide insights into changes in urbanization and its effects on night sky visibility.
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 constellations 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.
