    As someone that has worked in a space that has to deal with uploaded files for the last few years, and someone who maintains a WASM libmagic Node package ( https://github.com/moshen/wasmagic ) , I have to say I really love seeing new entries into the file type detection space.

    Though I have to say when looking at the Node module, I don't understand why they released it.

    Their docs say it's slow:

    https://github.com/google/magika/blob/120205323e260dad4e5877...

    It loads the model an runtime:

    https://github.com/google/magika/blob/120205323e260dad4e5877...

    They mark it as Experimental in the documentation, but it seems like it was just made for the web demo.

    Also as others have mentioned. The model appears to only detect 116 file types:

    https://github.com/google/magika/blob/120205323e260dad4e5877...

    Where libmagic detects... a lot. Over 1600 last time I checked:

    https://github.com/file/file/tree/4cbd5c8f0851201d203755b76c...

    I guess I'm confused by this release. Sure it detected most of my list of sample files, but in a sample set of 4 zip files, it misidentified one.

    We are very excited to announce the release of Magika our AI powered fast and efficient file type identification lib and tool - https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/02/magika-ai-powered-fast-and-efficient-file-type-identification.html

    Thanks to its optimized Keras model, large scale training dataset, and Onnx Magika massively outperform other file identification tools while be very fast even on CPU.

    Magika python code and model is open sourced on Github: https://github.com/google/magika and we also provide an experimental TFJS based npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/magika

    With the team we hope you will find Magika useful for your own projects. Let us know what you think or if you have any question!
