Wow, that is embarrassingly bad performance for current SOTA models (GPT-4o, Gemini-1.5 Pro, Sonnet-3, Sonnet-3.5), which are advertised and sold as being able to understand images, e.g., for guiding the blind or tutoring children in geom

Looks like fantastic work . It's so nice and refreshing to see something like this, instead of the common "we tweaked this and that thing and got better results on this and that benchmark." Thank you and congratulations

I agree with the folks at GS. Every non-tech corporation in the world is trying to figure out some kind of "AI strategy," but most executives and managers have no clue as to what they're doing or ought to be doing with re
