Researchers have explored the use of open-weight multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to generate point prompts for electron microscopy segmentation. By fine-tuning models like Qwen3-VL with LoRA adapters on existing datasets, they achieved significant improvements in segmentation accuracy, with Qwen3-VL reaching an AP50 score of 0.736. While this approach shows promise in linking language instructions to mask decoding, a supervised centroid-heatmap detector still outperforms it on specific tasks. AI
