Running Nighthawk model in Chirpity?

[warmtape]

Is there currently a way to run the Nighthawk model within Chirpity? https://github.com/bmvandoren/Nighthawk
I find that this model currently works better than the NocMig v2 Beta that comes preloaded in Chirpity.

See: #375

And if you are in North America, you shouldn't be using either Nocmig model. They only have European species.

Thanks very much for the information and my apologies for missing that earlier thread (I tried searching "Nighthawk" but clearly didn't do it properly).
Loving the Chirpity interface and its usability. Hopefully one day Nighthawk can be imported simply for N American birders. It will certainly be a boon for your subscriber numbers!

Out of interest, how long does NightHawk take to run an analysis? I saw this bmvandoren/Nighthawk#18 which makes me think it is really slow @ ~7 hours for a 10 hour session using CPU?

If it is that slow, I may train a custom model in Chirpity for the species Nighthawk supports.

When installing on my Apple M3 Pro I set it up to allow for GPU usage. I process a 10 hour session in ~50 minutes. I'm not sure how long with just CPU.

@warmtape - Hey - I've just released an update to Chirpity that allows you to import and run my JavaScript port of Nighthawk as a custom model. See here for details: #583

On my 8GB M2 MacBook Pro it runs GPU inference at 21x - so 10 hours would be done in < 30 minutes. I'd imagine it'd be a bit faster on an M3 Pro.
