Thinking with images: multimodal input capability rollout
AI Impact Summary
CAPABILITY update introduces image input support, enabling models to reason over visual content in addition to text. This expands use cases for product discovery, design review, and QA where visuals play a key role, but may require changes to data ingestion, image storage, and compliance for image data. Expect higher compute usage and the need to validate image encoding pipelines and error handling for non-image inputs.
