Multimodal models process different input forms in a shared understanding rather than just plain text. This lets them describe images, interpret charts, transcribe speech, or generate images from text. Well-known examples are GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini, which understand text and images together. Multimodality opens up applications from document analysis to accessible image description.
