I'm curious about how much use these general-purpose computer vision APIs are actually getting. How many companies out there really want to sift through a lot of photos to find ones that contain "sailboat"? I'm inclined to think a lot more companies would want to find "one of these five different specific kinds of sailboats performing this action", which is definitely not among the tens of thousands of predefined labels that Google, and Amazon, offer with their general purpose models.

High-quality custom model training as a service seems much more compelling.
