From VLM Prediction to Production System

LLMs with vision support (VLMs) are getting good at recognizing objects, drawing boxes around them, and outlining their shapes. For example, GPT-6 Astra can find hot spots in a thermal image of solar panels. But turning those predictions into an inspection system takes more work. You need labeled data, a trained model, somewhere to run it, and a way to improve it as new images arrive. This post walks through those stages, using Roboflow as an example of how to connect them without building and
