"""Handicate vision: identify anything, and learn new concepts on the fly. Two parts: 1. VisionPerceiver -- a VLM (Qwen2.5-VL) that identifies/describes an image, plus an image embedder (SigLIP) for the concept memory. 2. ConceptMemory -- a growing vector store of (image_embedding -> label). Teaching a new thing is instant (learn); recognizing it later is a nearest-neighbour lookup (no retraining). This is the "learn on the fly" mechanism. How it ties into the improving system: the concept memory is periodically DISTILLED into the VLM's weights (vision SFT on the accumulated (image, label) pairs) and then the raw entries are DISCARDED -- on-the-fly knowledge becomes permanent, weighted knowledge. Honest scope: a VLM identifies a broad range, not literally everything. The memory + distillation is how Handicate expands to new/unusual/just-shown things over time.
