We're pretty bad at model naming and communicating capabilities (in our defense, it's hard!), but o4-mini is actually a _considerably_ better vision model than o3, despite the benchmarks. Similar to how o3-mini-high was a much better coding model than o1. I would recommend using o4-mini-high over o3 for any task involving vision.
o4-mini gets much closer (but I'm pretty sure it fumbles at the last moment): https://chatgpt.com/share/680031fb-2bd0-8013-87ac-941fa91cea...
