# Automatic Image Quality Filtering
URL: /docs/changelogs/2026-06-22
LLM index: /llms.txt
Description: Vehicle Images results are now filtered for quality by default — set validate=false to get the old, unfiltered behavior.

## Added

- Automatic quality filtering for [Vehicle Images](/docs/products/vehicle-images) results, on by default — prioritizes real, relevant vehicle photos and removes many irrelevant or low-quality images.
- A `validate=false` request option to turn filtering off when you want the fastest, unfiltered results.

## Improved

- Smarter ranking for relevance and quality; duplicate or near-duplicate images are reduced.

## Breaking Changes

- Default response behavior changed: requests are now filtered by default, so you may receive different images — and sometimes fewer than 10 — unless you explicitly set `validate=false`.

## Notes

- If your integration depends on the exact prior image set or count, add `validate=false` to preserve the old behavior.
