iNaturalist makes a subset of its machine learning models publicly available while keeping full species classification models private due to intellectual property considerations and organizational policy. We provide “small” models trained on approximately 500 taxa, including taxonomy files and a geographic model, which are suitable for on-device testing and other applications. Additionally, researchers have independently developed and released open-source models based on iNaturalist data, which can be found in various model distribution venues (for example Hugging Face or Kaggle).
