========================================
  WHAT IS IT?
========================================
Diffuji is an instant camera built at
TreeHacks 2026. A raspberry pi zero 2w
with a camera and thermal receipt
printer lives inside a custom housing.

Our project won both the Neo Prize and
Most Creative Prize! Devpost here.

Snap a photo, pick a mode, and the
image gets sent to an AI backend that
transforms it, then prints the result
on receipt paper.

Below are a few examples of some of the
different modes:

========================================
  MODES
========================================

FILTER MODES use diffusion models to
restyle your photos:

  * studio ghibli style
  * time-travel to past decades
  * turn everyone into ducks
  * give everyone swole muscles
  * put Sam Altman in the photo
  * and many more...

SEARCH MODES use perplexity web search
to analyze what the camera sees:

  * estimate price of visible items
  * identify objects and landmarks

Each request is routed to one of four
AI providers so you can A/B test the
same prompt across different backends:

  [1] OpenAI     (gpt image 1.5)
  [2] Gemini     (2.5 flash image)
  [3] Modal      (flux kontext on h100)
  [4] Perplexity (sonar pro web search)
