On: Ferret: A Multimodal Large Language Model

[pests]

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?

[notdisliked → pests]

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

[sva_ → pests]

Modal, not model

[chaos_emergent → pests]

MultimodAl, not multimodEl

[TrueDuality → pests]

Modalities and models are not the same thing.

[astrange → pests]

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