This is incorrect; the local model is a small dense neural network called BirdNET that would not have been referred to "AI" when it was published in 2021. The model outputs a bird species probability distribution and the web application displays an existing image file of the most probable bird on the screen. This is a lovely example of simple, offline, and fun project using a straightforward machine learning model.
Ok, so why didn't this small dense model come up, say, 10 years back? Oh it needed all the AI evolution and concepts that were powered and evolved inside the data centers. But we still want to claim that it has nothing to do with the Big AI.
