A pretrained truck damage classifier that sorts an image into one of 2 categories. Use the truck damage 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 2 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

}Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 truck damage 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.
An insurance company can use the 'truck damage' identifier to quickly ascertain the extent of damage sustained by a truck involved in an accident. This would support the claims process by providing an initial snapshot of the damages.
A freight shipping company can use this function to identify and document any damages to their trucks. This provides an objective assessment and helps in scheduling immediate repair to ensure truck functionality and safety.
Used truck sellers can use the image classification feature to identify and present the damages of the trucks they are selling. This helps in providing a transparent business approach which can potentially increase customer trust and credibility.
Lease companies can use the 'truck damage' identifier when a leased truck is returned. This aids in evaluating any damages occurred during the lease period which were not present at the time of the lease issue.
The police or other law enforcement agencies can utilize the feature to document and identify truck damages in road accident cases. This can serve as a helpful tool in post-accident investigations and insurance claim procedures.
Truck service centers can use this function to detect damages when a truck is brought in for maintenance or repair services. It can help them in providing accurate repair estimates and prioritize necessary repairs.
The 'truck damage' identifier can be used by logistic regulation authorities to ensure the condition of commercial trucks. Identifying damages and enforcing immediate repairs can prevent accidents and ensure road safety.
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 truck damage 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.
