I keep seeing “Claude image understanding is poor” being repeated, but I’ve experienced the opposite.

I was running some sentiment analysis experiments; describe the subject and the subjects emotional state kind of thing. It picked up on a lot of little detail; the brand name of my guitar amplifier in the background, what my t shirt said and that I must enjoy craft beer and or running (it was a craft beer 5k kind of thing), and picked up on my movement through multiple frames. This was a video slicing a frame every 500ms, it noticed me flexing, giving the finger, appearing happy, angry, etc. I was really surprised how much it picked up on, and how well it connected those dots together.
