A small image classifier that tells AI-generated pictures from human photographs, tuned for social media images of different quality. It suits moderators, researchers and fact-checkers who screen images. AIRealNet-2 is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Modotte ## About ### What it is AIRealNet-2 is a binary image classifier that sorts pictures into AI-generated or human photograph. It is the upgraded version of AIRealNet, built on a SwinV2 Tiny backbone with about 195 million parameters. This version was tuned for social media images that have been compressed in different ways, which fooled the older model. The training set holds 98k images, split evenly between AI and human pictures, and personal photos were left out on purpose. ### Who it suits It suits moderators, researchers, fact-checkers and developers who need a first screen for synthetic images on social media, in publications or on media platforms. Who might use it | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Trust and safety | Content moderators | Flag likely AI-generated images for review | Screen an uploaded picture before a person checks it | | News and media | Fact-checkers | Get a first signal on a suspicious image | Run a viral picture through the classifier | | Research | Synthetic media researchers | Use a small open detector as a baseline | Test it on images from a new generator | If you need proof for a legal case, you can skip it. The card says it is not meant for legal verification without human corroboration. ### Where to use it The record lists the transformers library, so Python is the main place. The model is small enough for a normal workstation or a modest server. - Python with the transformers image-classification pipeline - A moderation or review tool that needs a quick signal - Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, to download the files Jobs it does | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | AI image screening | Moderators | A label and a score for each picture | | Synthetic media research | Researchers | A baseline detector to compare against | | Fact-checking support | Newsrooms | A first signal to confirm with human review | ### How to set it up You need Python with pip and the transformers library, plus memory for about 781 MB of F32 weights. The card gives a short demo you can follow after you install transformers. - Python with pip - The transformers library - Memory for about 781 MB of F32 weights, or about 98 MB at 4-bit by estimate 1. Install the transformers library. 2. Download the model files, or let the pipeline fetch them. 3. Run the pipeline on a picture. ```sh pip install -U transformers ``` ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Modotte/AIRealNet-2 ``` ### How to use it Create an image-classification pipeline with the model name, then pass it a picture. It returns two labels with scores, one for a real photograph and one for an artificial image. Class 0 means AI-generated and class 1 means a human photograph. Images are resized to 256 by 256 before they reach the model. ```python from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("image-classification", model="Modotte/AIRealNet-2") ``` ### Example The card shows a photo that the older model called fake because of social media compression. AIRealNet-2 labels it as a real photograph with a score close to 1. You still read the score as a hint, not a verdict. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, think of it as a quick check that guesses whether a picture came from a camera or a generator. Try a few images you already know the source of, to get a feel for how it behaves. If you know the field, the model resizes the image, extracts features with the SwinV2 Tiny vision transformer and applies a binary head. It was fine-tuned on the train split of about 98k social media images, with validation on a separate balanced subset. The card lists its blind spots: subtle edits, AI-edited pictures of real people, and generators it has not seen. The image is resized to 256 by 256 → SwinV2 Tiny extracts features → A binary head scores the two classes → You get AI-generated or human photograph ### Good to know The training data is balanced between the two classes, which keeps the model from favoring one. Training data split | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | AI-generated | 50% | | Human images | 50% | - License: MIT - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the model files from Hugging Face, and the images you pass in - Not for: legal verification without human checks, tiny edits, or AI-edited pictures of real people, which it does not detect ## README ````markdown # AIRealNet-2 A small image classifier that tells AI-generated pictures from human photographs, tuned for social media images of different quality.
