Multimodal AI

Multimodal AI refers to systems capable of processing, understanding, and generating multiple types of input and output data modalities simultaneously, such as text, images, audio, video, and code. This mirrors human-like perception across sensory channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does multimodal fusion work?

It aligns different data formats (e.g., matching pixel vectors with word token vectors) into a shared mathematical latent space so the model can process them together.

Give an example of a multimodal LLM.

OpenAI's GPT-4o, Google's Gemini, or Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which can read PDF diagrams, process voice inputs, and output text.
