That seems to be the way things are going.

Large general models have taken over in NLP, and (outside of embedded/low latency applications) it seems like they are coming for CV next.

It's already pretty much possible with open-vocabulary detectors like SAM3, where you could just prompt it with "Apple": https://ai.meta.com/research/sam3/
