Charrington notes the pattern: text-only AI was impressive until image generation arrived. Image generation was impressive until video generation arrived. Each new modality raises the baseline expectation, ensuring that no individual modality breakthrough provides lasting excitement.

•
Multimodal AI systems are more than the sum of their parts — the combination of vision and language creates capabilities that neither modality alone possesses
The research shows that multimodal models develop cross-modal reasoning capabilities that emerge from the combination of modalities. A model that can see and speak develops the ability to answer questions about images — a capability that neither a vision-only nor a language-only model possesses.Was this useful?
