The History of AI Models - Part 4: Multimodality and Autonomous Agents (2023 - 2026)

ChatGPT took the world by storm, but fundamentally it was still a system that only understood and generated "text". Yet, the human brain learns not just by reading, but by seeing, hearing, and touching.
In the final part of our Canary Digital AI history series, we discuss the current and future trends of artificial intelligence:

  • Multimodality: AI beginning to see and hear with GPT-4 and Gemini, processing not just text but visual and auditory data.
  • The Open-Weight Revolution: Llama and massive open-source models challenging closed ecosystems. Now, companies can safely run their own LLMs on their local servers (on-premise).
  • Autonomous Agents (AI Agents): Moving away from passive chatbots to an era of smart "digital colleagues" that set their own goals, use tools, make plans, and work integrated with enterprise ERP systems. Check out the full article to read in detail about the cutting edge of AI and how autonomous agents are reshaping the business world: 🔗 Read the Original Article: The History of AI Models - Part 4: Agents & Multimodal
