Here is the issue with neural processes: they suck, they really do, on any reasonable real-world problem beyond the simple examples with tons of training data in relatively simple domains.

It’s weird that so many folks in the comments worked with GPs and NNs and never heard of neural processes. They were a big deal until a few years ago: https://yanndubs.github.io/Neural-Process-Family/text/Intro.html
