Foundation Models and the Future of Multi-Modal AI

Recent advances that combine large language and vision models can perform impressive tasks surprisingly well, and this direction holds a lot of promise for the future of AI

TL;DR Foundation models, which are large neural networks trained on very big datasets, can be combined with each other to unlock surprising capabilities. This is a growing trend in AI research these past couple of years, where researchers combine the power of large language and vision models to create impressive applications like language-conditioned im…
