Image Processing

All Claude 3 models can analyse visual inputs, extract insights from them, and generate accurate output related to visual inputs. In other words, you can use Claude 3 models to analyse images, turn images into prompts for creative tasks such as home decorating, analyse math problems, and catalogue metadata. However, Claude 3 models only support visual input. You cannot generate any visual output using them.
