What is Multimodal Model in Applied AI?
A model that accepts and produces more than one type of input or output, such as text plus images, or text plus audio plus video. Frontier multimodal models share a common embedding space across modalities so the same reasoning layers can operate on any input type.

Most enterprise AI deployments are now multimodal in some way: PDF parsing, screenshot analysis, voice notes. AI product managers and engineers need to reason about input modalities as first-class.
