AI Concepts
Multimodal
Definition
AI models that can process and generate multiple types of data — typically text, images, audio, and video. GPT-4o, Gemini, and Claude 4 are multimodal models that can understand images and generate text about them.
In Plain English
An AI that can see, hear, and read — not just one of those. A multimodal AI can look at a photo of your broken dishwasher, listen to the weird noise it makes, and tell you what's wrong with it, all in one conversation.
