> I can see why people would want ready made one shot classifier, and I can see the value of sending multiple classifier in one call, but I wouldn’t call it breakthrough

Are those things that people want less useful because of what someone else calls it?

Maybe, or maybe to use Jev, which is useful?

Whether something is overmarketed or undermarketed, novel or derivative, it does not change its function.
