The release of GPT-4o, a multimodal model that combines vision, audio, and text, has marked a significant milestone in the field of AI. This breakthrough has paved the way for advanced research into creating models that can handle and integrate multiple types of data inputs. Following this development, we have embarked on a research journey to achieve similar multimodal capabilities with LLaMA3.

Our research focuses on extending the LLaMA3 architecture to process and integrate text, audio, and video inputs seamlessly. We aim to leverage the insights gained from GPT-4o's multimodal capabilities and apply them to our model, ensuring that it can understand and generate outputs across various formats. This involves:
