Unlocking Multimodal AI: Vision Capabilities Explained
Vision-enabled LLMs open up entirely new application categories. Here's how to make the most of them.
Supported Models
Currently, these models support vision on Infiner:
- GPT-4 Turbo
- GPT-4o
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet
- Gemini 1.5 Pro
Use Cases
Document Processing
Extract structured data from:
- Invoices and receipts
- Forms and applications
- Handwritten notes
Image Analysis
- Product defect detection
- Medical image analysis
- Real estate photo evaluation
UI/UX Analysis
- Analyze screenshots for accessibility issues
- Generate code from design mockups
- Compare design implementations
Implementation
Basic vision request:
javascript
const response = await infiner.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4o",
messages: [{
role: "user",
content: [
{ type: "text", text: "What's in this image?" },
{ type: "image_url", image_url: { url: "data:image/jpeg;base64,..." } }
]
}]
});Best Practices
- Resize images to reduce costs (max 2048px recommended)
- Use specific prompts for better accuracy
- Combine with text context when available
- Handle errors gracefully for unclear images
