It’s absolutely incredible that the model can deduce what the human needs to do in order to more clearly see the text.

Counterpoint: this is the same instructions provided for a wide class of printed optical illusions, likely well represented in the training set.

But the model recognized that they apply here. That’s absolutely non-trivial. It could have easily mistaken the line pattern for an autostereogram and told the user to cross their eyes instead.

wow that's kind of crazy impressive that it can do that honestly, VLMs have gone so far, can't imagine the crazy amount of annotations they had to create to get to that level

I find it works a lot better at smaller sizes.
