I always like to try these zero-shot models on things outside of the "normal" COCO classes. Here are some chess board queries:

Not quite there yet. I've been more impressed with the other new zero-shot multimodal models like Grounding DINO and Azure Dense Captioning. Really looking forward to putting multimodal GPT-4 through its paces as well.

Could it be that the actual issue has to do with it having trouble with small tokens (letters, numbers)?

Does it give a different result if you ask it to answer in a format like this?

> Please name what kind of piece is on each square of this board > A1: white rook > A2: white pawn > A3: empty > A4: empty > ...

Prompting can be so unintuitive sometimes. Maybe it just has an issue with the output representation or something...
