This actually matches my experience quite well. I use vision (often) to try and do 2 main things in Claude code:

1) give it text data from something that is annoying to copy and paste (eg labels off a chart or logs from a terrible web UI that doesn't make it easy to copy and paste).

2) give it screenshots of bugs, especially UI glitches.

It's extremely good at 1), can't remember when it got it wrong.

On 2) it _really_ struggled until opus 4.5, almost comically so, with me posting a screenshot and a description of the UI bug and it telling me "great it looks perfect! What next?"

With opus 4.5 it's not quite laughably as bad but still often misses very obvious problems.

It's very interesting to see the rapid progression on these benchmarks, as it's probably a very good proxy for "agentic vision".

I've came to the conclusion that browser use without vision (eg based on the DOM or accessibility trees) is a dead end, simply because "modern" websites tend to use a comical amount of tokens to render. So if this gets very good (close to human level/speed) then we have basically solved agents being able to browse any website/GUI effectively.
