    I haven't tested it against international apps. This app uses EfficientNetV2 https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00298

    There is a web version available too: https://what-is-this.cms.waikato.ac.nz/

    It seems to fail on pictures of elephants so maybe it isn't trained on everything in the world...

    This is from a few months ago but really interesting work from some university students that trained a popular machine learning model on data from iNaturalist.nz. The app is pretty good at identifying endemic species. The entire model is installed with the app which means that it works offline.
