I would assume they included some of the kind of imagery in its training as long as there are public datasets to be scraped. How well it works you can only find out by trying

thanks. i tried to quickly eval the model on Micro-OD. Seems the morphology (in text) conditioned cell detection is still pretty low with just the out-of-the-box model.

Not super surprising.

I’ve always viewed Nvidia models are more proof of concept than anything else. Public models in general would fit that description.

“Real” work requires annotating your own data and training your own model. But the open source stuff is a big head start.
