I think (hope) the next application of this tech is in point of care testing. I recall a story of a someone in Sudan(?) using a small, locally hosted LLM with vision abilities to scan hand written doctor notes and come up with an immunisation plan for their village, preventing a disease (measles?) outbreak.
We already have PoC testing for things like Ultrasound… but that relies on strong net connection. It’d be awesome to have something on device that can be used for imaging where there is no other infra.
Maybe someone can finally win that $10 million dollar X prize for the first viable tricorder…one that isn’t smoke and mirror like Theranos.
