Multimodal

Friendly Description: Multimodal AI can work with more than one kind of input at the same time, like text and images, or audio and video. It's the difference between a friend who only reads and a friend who can read, watch, listen, and chat about it all at once. Multimodal models can do things like look at a picture and describe it, or watch a short clip and answer questions about it.

Example: You could snap a photo of the inside of your fridge and ask a multimodal AI, "What can I make for dinner with this stuff?" The model sees the food, understands your question, and suggests a few recipes that match the ingredients it spotted, all in one back-and-forth.
