thanks, how is your work going. Any interesting papers you did, what is an area you think needs more research.

I wanted to do something similar to this, then I started doing some research on birds in general, and those in my locality, then I started learning about Audio and spectograms and Nyquist Theorem and many other interesting audio stuff.

Then I started going through the Intro to Conservation Bioacoustics by Cornell course, and started watching Bioacoustic Talks by the K. Lisa Yang Center cornell center.

And now I am almost at the point where I cant start manually tagging audio sets, for target species so that I can train custom classifiers to identify birds in Rwanda which are poorly detected by birdnet.

TLDR: Being jobless can lead you into interesting ventures.

Birdnet-go is really good and actively maintained. Shout out to tphakala.

This would be a better page to link to https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix/blob/main/docs...

They explain some of the the reasons why they have a better solution and why they are very opinionated

Automatic prefix caching activates only when the exact byte prefix of the previous request matches. Most agent loops reorder, rewrite, or inject fresh timestamps each turn — cache hit rate in practice: <20%.

So they optimize on this plus other techniques to improve cache hits, making it cheaper.

I am working on a research institute for East Africa, https://maiyoinstitute.org/. I want to tackle the dire lack of environmental data, by using 1. low cost hardware 2. Artificial Intelligence 3. Long term horizon. The problem set is huge, but I am focusing on low cost sensors for Air and Water data collection plus bioacoustics for now.

What do you currently use for json and batch, I was doing some analysis and my results show that gpt-oss-120b (non batch via openrotuer) is the best for now for my use case, better than gemini-flash models (batch on google). How is your experience?

From my casual glance, I can see only few images of particular spots and no timeline so that you can go back in history. Seems pretty rudimentary, like the 15 images you get from EOSDA LandViewer that you can only download a very low resolution thumbnail. Did you find the data helpful?

Now that the US can't do the same to China (due to its sheer size and power), old globalization and free trade flag-bearers discovered suddenly that free trade might not be the "be all end all".

This is one of the main reason why US is fighting China.
