I'm not that familiar with Claude for vision. I don't think Anthropic focusses on that. But the 3.5 family of models is way better. If 3.5 Sonnet supports vision that's what I'd use
It was literally launched February 5th, ~10 days ago. I'm no researcher, and I know "academia moves slow" is of course true too, but I don't think we can expect research papers to include things that were launched probably after they finished the reviews of said paper.
Maybe papers aren't the right approach here at all, but I don't feel like it's a fair complaint they don't include models released less than 2 weeks ago.
Also, this is arxiv. The website that's explicitly about posting research pre peer-review.
So for how long? How long did the papers you've written in the past take to write? AFAIK, it takes some time.
And peer-review is not the only review a paper goes through, and was not the reviews I was referring to.
I'm not even disagreeing that it takes time to write papers, and it's "common" for this to happen. But it's just more evidence for what I said in my original comment:
