It used to work this out from the image data every time. It now remembers the result for each image. If its first attempt to read an image's header (the start of the file that describes it) fails, it tries again with a longer piece of the file. The length of what Claude sends to its tools is also remembered in the same way.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis saves work. It has no visible effect.\n\n- Area: Performance\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
