Is it possible to pass image to context? I think OpenAI and Claude models are able to handle images

Yes. Some models have better vision than others. And not all work with images. Also o1, for example, which has good vision, requires **pay as you go** or what ever **Cursor** calls it.

Tested both claude and gpt-4o. But I don’t think the picture in the context or readable in the context somehow

Hey, which version of Cursor are you using? Try restarting Cursor as well, sometimes it helps. However, I don’t have this issue.
