Dictionary meaning
artificial intelligence systems capable of processing and generating information across multiple data modalities — including text, images, audio, video, and structured data — within a single unified model; multimodal AI systems such as GPT-4V, Gemini, and Claude can analyse images alongside text, transcribe and reason about audio, and generate images from text descriptions; the integration of modalities allows these systems to perform tasks that were previously impossible for single-modality models, such as answering questions about the contents of a photograph, describing what is happening in a video, or generating images that illustrate a written passage
