# The quality or state of being multimodal; the use or combination of multiple modes, forms, channels, or methods.

# (''AI'') The ability of a system to work with multiple kinds of input or output, such as text, images, audio, or video, rather than relying on text alone.

#* In AI~~, multimodality often refers to systems that can work with more than one kind~~ of ~~input or output, such as text, images, audio, or video.~~

# (''Mathematics, statistics'') The presence of multiple modes or maxima in a distribution.

~~In AI, the ability~~ to work with multiple kinds of input or output, such as text, images, audio, or video, rather than relying on text alone.

#* Multimodality allows a user to give an AI system richer context by combining words with other formats, such as prompting with a product photo, an audio recording, or a video clip.

~~#* For example, a multimodal AI system might create an image from a text prompt, draft an email from product photos, generate a video from a sentence~~, ~~or build a presentation from an audio recording.~~

~~In mathematics and~~ statistics~~, the~~ presence of multiple modes or maxima in a distribution.
