Multimodal / Vision-Language
Multimodal (vision-language) models can process images alongside text in the same context — reading a screenshot, a chart, or a photo and reasoning about it in natural language — and increasingly this capability ships as a default feature of flagship text models rather than a separate product. The category is distinct enough to track on its own because vision quality (OCR accuracy, chart/diagram understanding, spatial reasoning) varies enormously between models that otherwise perform similarly on text benchmarks. GROUNDING tracks new multimodal releases and the vision-specific benchmarks that reveal this gap.
