Multimodal AI

AI that understands and generates more than one type of data, such as text, images and audio together.

Last updated

Multimodal models handle several input or output types in one system. A model might read an image and answer questions about it, or take a spoken request and return a written summary. Combining modalities makes assistants more natural to use and enables tasks like describing charts, captioning video or generating images from text.
