Multi-Modal AI Optimization: Combining Text, Vision, and Speech Efficiently
summary
Argues that multimodal systems must fuse text, vision and speech with concrete architectures — early fusion, late fusion and a hybrid cross‑attention design — and uses mixture‑of‑experts to cut compute by activating only needed experts. Shows token‑selection/pruning and quantization plus distillation reduce inference cost and enable deployment on edge AR/VR. Calls out sync errors between transcripts and video as a real failure mode, and points to real‑time multimodal streams, memory‑augmented stores and neuro‑symbolic modules as practical next steps.
