But that's not something you'd use an LLM for. There have been computer vision systems sorting bad peas for more than a decade[0], of course there are plenty of use cases for very fast inspection systems. But when would you use an LLM for anything like that?

Nobody said you would use an LLM for that. It's an example of a process where "industrial inspection, in particular, [would] benefit from lower latency in exchange for accuracy".

The point of their comment isn't that you would use an LLM to sort fruit. It was just an illustrative example.

You would use a VLM (vision language model). The model analyzes the image and outputs text, along with general context, that can drive intelligent decisions. https://tryolabs.com/blog/llms-leveraging-computer-vision
