These aren't LLM. Most of the neat things in science, involving AI, aren't LLM. Next word prediction has extremely limited use with non-text data.

People seem to have started to use "LLM" to refer to any suite of software that includes an LLM somewhere within it; you can see them talking about LLM-generated art, for example.

Was it ascii art? ;)

Computer vision models are not large language models; LLM does not mean generative AI or even AI in general, it stands for a specific initialism.
