Häufig gestellte Fragen

What's the difference between a VLM and a multimodal model?
A VLM is a specific type of multimodal model focused on vision and language. A multimodal model can include other modalities like audio, video or 3D. In practice, VLMs are the most mature and widely deployed category of multimodal models in 2026.
What is the best VLM in 2026?
Google's Gemini and OpenAI's GPT-4o compete for leadership on visual benchmarks. Anthropic's Claude excels at analyzing complex documents and charts. The choice depends on the use case: OCR, scene understanding, visual reasoning, or diagram analysis.
