SCOUT Vision — offline image recognition
Identify plants, parse documents, describe scenes, all on-device.
SCOUT Vision lets PortableMind read images locally. Field uses, document OCR, plant ID, and how it differs from cloud vision APIs.
Deep dives
SCOUT stops being a vision box and becomes a field instrument: seven dedicated scan modes that return structured triage cards with danger verdicts, lookalike warnings, and honest confidence. Firmware 1.8.0 is shipping now.
1.7.1 is not new features. It is the fine-tuning pass on top of 1.7, and it is what shipped on every drive from early July until Firmware 1.8.0 took over.
Firmware 1.7 moves the whole model roster to Qwen 3.5, makes every chat vision-aware, and moves Kokoro voice to the GPU.
