Key Points
- A lightweight CLI called Sorting Hat uses local Vision-Language Models to rename images and other files with meaningful filenames.
- It is tested with Qwen3.5 models (0.8b, 9b, and 27b in llama.cpp) and reportedly works with OpenAI-compatible APIs.
- The project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/marksverdhei/sorting-hat/tree/main and was shared on Reddit by user /u/k_means_clusterfuck.
- The tool aims to provide a traceable reasoning process while processing images to generate sensible filenames using vision capabilities.
- This represents a community-developed, practical utility for organizing media assets using local AI models.
