Overview

Pictograph developer docs. Annotate images with SAM3, train detection and segmentation models, and deploy inference APIs from a typed Python SDK, CLI, and REST API.

Pictograph turns directories of images into trained CV models with as little hand-annotation as possible. The same REST API drives three surfaces: a typed Python SDK, a CLI, and an agent toolkit for Claude and OpenAI.

from pictograph import Client
from pictograph.pipelines import full_pipeline

client = Client()
report = full_pipeline(
    client,
    dataset_name="road-signs",
    folder="./road_signs",
    classes=[("stop_sign", "bbox"), ("yield", "bbox")],
    pipeline="yolox",
)
print("model:", report.model.id if report.success else "see report")

What you can do

Upload directories of images; subdirectories become virtual paths.
Auto-annotate with SAM3 — point, box, or text prompts, single image or async batch.
Train YOLOX, RF-DETR, SM-PyTorch, Segformer, or classification models on A10G / A100 / H100 GPUs.
Export to COCO, YOLO, CVAT, Pascal VOC, LabelMe, CSV, or Pictograph JSON.
Import existing datasets from V7 (Darwin) or Roboflow.
Search by visual similarity (SigLIP2) or auto-generated content tags.
Run locally with Pictograph’s own tooling — export to any of 8 formats, feed a PyTorch training loop, run trained models locally, and draw annotations, no server round-trip.
Drive everything from agents — Claude Agent SDK, openai-agents, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, or any framework that speaks JSON Schema.
