It's still an impressive engineering feat, and (probably, given recent AI advances) an incredible time to market. I wonder when they started working on this, how big their company is, how much training data they put into it, etc. What

Then how do you explain that Digikey still sells many camera sensors. For example this one: https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus...
