OpenAI's Simón Fishman and Logan Kilpatrick argue that 2024 will be the year of multimodal models, showcasing how text can currently bridge vision, audio, and image generation. They demo a DALL-E vision loop where GPT-4 with vision describes an image, DALL-E 3 generates a synthetic version, then the models compare and iterate to improve accuracy—all in roughly 50 lines of code. Another demo extracts frames from a video, uses GPT-4 with vision to describe them, combines with Whisper's transcript, and generates a blog post with matching DALL-E images, making video content more accessible. They emphasize that while today's multimodal capabilities are separate, future unified models will directly reason across modalities, eliminating the need for manual integration.
