Clarifai
Clarifai is an AI platform for computer vision and video analysis, offering pre-trained and custom models for image and video tagging, classification, and object detection. It authenticates with Personal Access Tokens rather than OAuth, and pairs a free Community tier (1,000 operations/month) with metered Essential and Professional plans. Its API locks CORS to clarifai.com, so it can't be called directly from third-party browser JavaScript.
