I strongly believe multimodal LLMs (AI that can understand text, images, audio, and actions) are the next big step in AI.
Right now, most LLMs are mainly used for chatting. But I think the real breakthrough will happen in robotics, where AI needs to see, hear, and act in the real world.
Think about it:
Every robot already has (or will have) sensors:
- Cameras (drones, vehicles, humanoid robots)
- Microphones
- Depth sensors / LiDAR
- GPS / IMU
- Maybe even tactile sensors
A robot doesn’t just need to talk, it needs to:
- see the world
- understand scenes
- reason about physical space
- plan actions
- and execute in real-time
And multimodal models are basically built for this.
I feel like as robotics advances accelerate, the demand for multimodal intelligence is going to explode, because robots are not operating inside a browser, they’re operating in the real world.
I’m building in this space. What’s your opinion on the future of multimodal LLMs?
