I think you are on to something. MS has really stsrted leaning into their productivity suite and corporate offerings.

Microsoft Vivo is being rolled out and I think ChatGPT will be used as a personal assistant for employees.

For example, if you're an employee at a massive enterprise, and you need to find internal docs for (compensation, sick leave policy, literally anything) you can ask ChatGPT and it will give you an answer.

I imagine they'll be fine tuning different LLMs lile ChatGPT to fit into all of their productivity products. But corporate assistance seems to be a potential push.

Definitely sounds like an issue woth the amount of labels.

You could try splitting your dataset into chunks of 100 labels or 1000 labels and label that way?

It could be something with your system then.

You don't have to degrade the quality of the original images. If you create a copy of the images and downsoze the copy, you can label the copied files while maintaining a link between the name of the original file and a name of the copy.

What size are the files?

Your photos are likely too big/high resolution. I would try downscaling the images before loading them in the interface.
