Models that can read your images
The 18 of 60 models Else can run where we have measured image input working — hand them a screenshot or a photo and they read it.
If the material you want to hand over is a picture — a screenshot of a dashboard, a photo of a receipt, a scan of a form — you need a model that can actually look at it. 18 of the 60 models Else can run have had image input measured working. These are those 18.

How this list is decided
Section titled “How this list is decided”We probe each model’s image input ourselves and record the result as one of three states: measured working, measured not working, or not measured. This page lists only the first state. The probe result is the same fact the Images in column shows on Model prices.
Measured working means a real probe got a real answer about a real image. It does not mean the model reads every image equally well, and it is not a claim about accuracy on your particular picture — we publish no measured quality ranking. If a model reads your screenshot badly, try another on this list rather than assuming the list is wrong.
