ChatGPT’s enhanced visual intelligence helps you solve tougher problems by analyzing images more thoroughly, accurately, and reliably than ever before. It can seamlessly combine advanced reasoning with tools like web search and image manipulation—automatically zooming, cropping, flipping, or enhancing your images—to extract insights even from imperfect photos. For example, you can upload a photo of an economics problem set to receive step-by-step explanations, or share a screenshot of a build error to quickly get a root-cause analysis.

This approach enables a new axis for test-time compute scaling that seamlessly blends visual and textual reasoning, as reflected in their state-of-the-art performance across multimodal benchmarks, marking a significant step toward multimodal reasoning.

Thinking with images allows you to interact with ChatGPT more easily. You can ask questions by taking a photo without worrying about the positioning of objects—whether the text is upside down or there are multiple physics problems in one photo. Even if objects are not obvious at first glance, visual reasoning allows the model to zoom in to see more clearly.

Our latest visual reasoning models work in tandem with other tools like Python data analysis, web search, image generation to creatively and effectively solve more complex problems, delivering our first multimodal agentic experience to users.
