I've wanted to do something similar, but unfortunately their CV model isn't public and can't be used through their API.

Are their models considered to be the best or is there some competition? For plant identification, they blow every other free app I have tried out of the water. It also seems to return the genus of a plant rather than misidentify the species which I find impressive.

IMO it's best-in-class. The next best thing might be google's speciesnet: https://github.com/google/cameratrapai

Any idea how SpeciesNet and iNat’s model compare to BioCLIP 2?

That's too bad, maybe I can upload it to iNaturalist then reference the entry there. I don't mind if it's duplicated, I just want to be able to improve the location data without sharing the improved location data so publicly.

Yet they shelter under a 'Science' tax-break. It's duplicitous. They should publish their models and build process. If it's not available for replication, it's not science.
