Sifter is a new, locally-run classifier designed for small, repetitive tasks that are too minor for cloud services. It allows users to train the model with a few examples, ensuring data privacy and a flat cost structure. The tool uses an open-weight sentence model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) and prioritizes flagging uncertainty over making incorrect guesses. AI
IMPACT Provides a privacy-focused, cost-effective alternative to cloud AI for common small-scale classification tasks.
