Multimodal Generation
Generating images, video, and audio is a different engineering problem from understanding them. A generative-media product is an asset-processing pipeline of long-running, non-deterministic, expensive jobs, and most of the work is orchestrating that safely, proving provenance, and evaluating quality you cannot reproduce exactly. This chapter leads with those durable concerns and treats the specific models as a perishable snapshot. Every capability figure below is a reported or vendor claim unless tied to a primary source.
