OpenAI is actively developing multimodal AI capabilities, with a near-term focus on text as a connective tissue between disparate models like DALL-E, Whisper, and GPT-V. While a unified multimodal AI is the ultimate goal, current efforts involve architectural patterns that enable models to reason across different modalities by leveraging text descriptions. This approach allows for advanced applications like automated image iteration and video summarization that incorporates both visual and audio information.
