About

OnDeck is the infrastructure layer that makes Vision Language Models accessible and scalable for enterprise. Our model, Perception-0, let organizations instantly find any object, behavior or event, in any footage, without needing to train a model or collect any training data. The Pain: Creating vision models usually takes months: collecting training data, training, then deployment. Worse yet: + it’s often impossible to get enough data for a specific task, and + even the best cv models struggle to generalize across diverse camera setups, workflows and environments. To overcome these blockers, we bet early on the power of VLMs and built a vision engine that can generalize across any task and doesn’t need any training data. We published a NeurIPS workshop paper showing our new methods with VLMs beat traditional CV even at niche tasks. Now, our model Perception-0 beats the best VLMs including Gemini at long video understanding. Our current customers include: - National Defense Organizations - Robotics Research - Security cameras - Behaviour analysis for port monitoring - Off-shore oil & gas monitoring
