We tested LLMs to improve multilingual descriptions of plants, insects, and fungi where Wikipedia entries were inadequate. GPT-4o outperformed smaller models such as GPT-4o mini and Mistral Pixtral 12B, especially in grammar and factual accuracy. It performed better in widely spoken languages and common species. In the end, GPT-4o was used to generate descriptions in 28 languages, providing better coverage for the Kindwise API.

The new API enables you to identify species of terrestrial invertebrates, including insects and spiders from images using a machine-learning model. It is easy to use and we already love how it works.
