Not separate from earth and sky,But woven through the how and why,The cosmos thinks through human…

    I used LLaVA and GPT-4o to successfully identify an image’s prime keywords, returning an ordered list of descriptors. “This script utilizes LLaVA (Large Language and Vision Assistant) to identify images based on keyword descriptors, iterating 35 times by default. It generates two outputs: a list of primary keywords and a corresponding list indicating the frequency…
