Recreating the infamous app from the Silicon Valley tv show

is not hot dog.md

My project for the Vancouver Personal AI Hackday (March 29, 2025) was to familiarize myself with the Hugging Face AI Community Hub.

I decided to build and host an object detection model pipeline by re-creating the infamous "not hot dog" app from the Silicon Valley tv show.

I used the Hugging Face free tier to create a publicly acessible space and imported the YOLOv8 object detection model that is hosted on Hugging Face.

The interface is generated by Gradio, the Hugging Face tool for adding web UIs to its AI model apps.

Lesson learned: the YOLO model can be reliably used to identify hot dogs.
