How to Use Roboflow with GPT-4 Vision

In October 2023, OpenAI introduced an API for GPT-4 with vision, enhancing its capabilities to perform various computer vision tasks such as image classification, visual question answering, and OCR. This development opens new possibilities for creating vision applications, particularly when paired with Roboflow's models for object detection and segmentation. The guide explores three methods of utilizing Roboflow with GPT-4, including zero-shot image and video classification, auto-labeling for detection and segmentation datasets, and optical character recognition (OCR). Zero-shot classification allows the identification of categories within images without prior training, while auto-labeling uses models like Grounding DINO for object detection, followed by GPT-4 for labeling. For OCR tasks, fine-tuned models can locate text regions and GPT-4 can read the text, although accuracy may vary. Additionally, the guide mentions that Autodistill, an open-source framework, will soon support few-shot prompting, enhancing model learning by providing additional examples. Overall, fine-tuned models and GPT-4 collaboratively streamline the development and deployment of computer vision applications.
