I do a test on multimodal LLMs where I show them a dog with 5 legs, and ask them to count how many legs the dog has. So far none of them can do it. They all say "4 legs".

Segment anything however was able to segment all 5 dog legs when prompted to. Which means that meta is doing something else under the hood here, and may lend itself to a very powerful future LLM.

Right now some of the biggest complaints people have with LLMs stems from their incompetence processing visual data. Maybe meta is onto something here.

jampekka•1h ago

Segmentation doesn't need to count legs. I'd guess something like YOLO could segment 5 legged dogs too.

chompychop•1h ago

YOLO is not a segmentation model.

I thought it was a joke about YAML

chompychop•15m ago

Thanks! TIL there's a class of segmentation models with the YOLO naming scheme.

PunchTornado•29m ago

I doubt that gemini 3 cannot do it.

Side question: what are the current top goto open models for image captioning and building image embeddings dbs, with somewhat reasonable hardware requirements?

NitpickLawyer•22m ago

Try any of the qwen3-vl models. They have 8, 4 and 2B models in this family.

Glemkloksdjf•14m ago

I would suggest YOLO. Depending on your domain, you might also finetune these models. Its relativly easy as they are not big LLMs but either image classification or bounding boxes.

I would recommend bounding boxes.

smallerize•4m ago

Which YOLO?
