Agent vision is on by default
Sep 21, 2026
Vision mode has been an opt-in project setting since April. It is now the default. In Observe, the agent receives a screenshot after each interaction and has an observe tool to look at the page on demand, so it notices visual state that text snapshots miss and needs fewer explicit visual assertions.
Image quality (Low, Medium, High) trades tokens for detail. Projects that had explicitly chosen Off keep that choice; every run logs where its vision mode came from.
