Image Recognition

One difference between Immich (the 2024.04 default album in Community Entity) is the OpenAI CLIP model used in image classification. Other open sourced photo albums like Photoprism (the 2024.04 default album in Personal Entity) can use different models.

You can assign names to images and you can even merge different people identified by AI into one person.
