Step-1o Turbo Vision

Step-1o Turbo Vision is a hosted visual understanding model. It accepts text, images and video, and returns text. Its 32K context is smaller than the current Step 3.7 and Step 5 models.

Add information that the image cannot carry

The visual guide states that preprocessing removes image metadata. File names, camera information and location metadata are therefore not evidence that the model can read from the image.StepFun visual understanding models

Use it for a bounded visual task

Practical guidance. This model can fit a short caption, image question or video summary. Add relevant file context as text when it matters. A large collection of images needs a plan for context use even when it stays below the file-size limit.
