THE JUDGES
Three ways of seeing. One verdict.
Three vision models rank your library. They disagree. Fusion trusts the agreement.
“forest path at dusk”
CLIP rank 2 1/(60+2) = 0.0161
DINOv2 rank 6 1/(60+6) = 0.0152
SigLIP-2 rank 3 1/(60+3) = 0.0159
fused score = 0.0472
They rarely agree. Where all three do, you have found it.
04 / FOLLOW
Click one image. Keep finding the ones like it.
Click any image to see the ones that look like it, then keep following the visual trail without losing the original search. A breadcrumb trail remembers every step, so you can rewind and take a different path.
05 / PRACTISE
FOR REFERENCE PRACTICE
Every set is a life-drawing class.
Start a timed session from any image or from a whole similar set, and Lynceus cycles it fullscreen on your own interval: thirty-second gestures, five-minute studies, however you warm up. Pause, zoom, pan and repeat, for as many poses as you set.
