Multimodal
A model that takes in or produces more than one kind of data, such as text with images, audio or video.
A multimodal model encodes non-text input into the same space as text, so a picture and a sentence about it can be reasoned over together. You can paste a screenshot, a chart, a PDF page or a video and ask about it in plain language.
Support varies a lot by provider and changes often. Image input is common now. Audio and video input are not universal, and image output usually comes from a separate model. Look up what your exact model version supports and do not assume two vendors match.
