Photon 1.3.0 makes Moondream faster across NVIDIA, Mac, and Windows, runs finetunes on far more hardware, fixes an accuracy issue on older GPUs — and running Moondream locally is now completely free.

Photon, Moondream's inference engine, achieves near-realtime VLM inference (~33ms on NVIDIA B200). This is a peek into how it delivers up to 35% higher decode throughput by optimizing how the GPU works.

Photon 1.2.0 brings native inference to Apple Silicon and Windows, adds NVIDIA Blackwell and Jetson Thor support, and ships meaningful speed gains across existing GPUs.

Solve the last-mile problem with Lens, our fine-tuning product that makes VLMs production-ready.

Photon brings real-time Moondream inference to production vision AI, from edge devices to H100-class servers.

Moondream Cloud segmenting now delivers stronger benchmark scores, improved mask quality, and 40% faster inference.

Mac users can now run Moondream 3 Preview in Station with MLX-native, quantized performance.

Fast, cheap, smart. Pick three.

Moondream Station 2 is a one-line installer to run Moondream locally
