Spelunking through Apple's safety models - SafetyNetLight
February 20, 2026On every Apple device are a group of offline classification models that classify images across a number of categories. We'll reverse engineer their safety model, SafetyNetLight. While doing this, we also discover SceneNetv5, which is a parent model that produces embeddings for scene classification, entity recognition, safety classification, object detection, saliency, aesthetics, and fingerprinting.
