Ferret: A Multimodal Large Language Model by Apple

Ok our options

  Multimodal large language model
  Large multimodal language model
  Large language multimodal model
  Large language model (multimodal)

I prefer 1, because this is a multimodal type of an existing technique already referred to as LLM. If I was king, I’d do Omnimodal Linguistic Minds, but no one asks me such things, thank god

I mean, if we want to be silly, what about "Language model (large, multimodal"? :)

Some of the modalities in multimodal are non-linguistic. For example, image or video input. In those cases, is it still a language model?

I’d say yeah cause it’s understanding the inputs through linguistic structures/patterns
