Because the first word is "multimodal" :^) and also because MLLM is the established initialism.

My point was the phrase already contains the word model. Why are we calling it a multimodel LL model? Why not just add multi to the existing model?

Multimodal, not multimodel. Multimodal referring to the different possible modes of input (text, picture) into the model.

There is something like a "multimodel LLM" but it's called MoE ("mixture of experts").

Modalities and models are not the same thing.
