Multimodal AI processes multiple forms of data, like images, sounds, and words, all at once, to empower your applications to not just listen to our voice or read text but also pick up facial expressions and the details around us. This technology is rapidly making our daily interactions easier and natural, and when using applications with which you can communicate, it feels almost as if you are chatting with your friends.
The first multimodal large language model that handled both text and images effectively was GPT-4 in 2023. The most recent multimodal model, GPT-4o Vision, is equipped to create interactions that are incredibly lifelike.
