GitHub·medium signal
Google's Magika, a deep learning-based file content type detector, is trending with 871 new stars today reaching 14,541 total. The tool identifies 200+ content types (binary and text) at ~99% accuracy with ~5ms inference per file, using Rust, Python, TypeScript, and Go bindings. Deployed at scale inside Google for security and integrated with VirusTotal, it's increasingly relevant as AI agents need reliable file type detection before processing documents in RAG and agentic workflows.
