What are Multimodal Models in Canada?
Multimodal models are artificial intelligence models capable of understanding, processing, and generating multiple types of data—including text, images, audio, video, code, and other structured or unstructured inputs—within a single unified system. These models combine information across modalities to perform tasks such as visual question answering, image generation, speech recognition, video understanding, document analysis, code generation, and conversational AI. Many multimodal models support advanced capabilities such as tool use, reasoning, AI agents, and long-context processing, enabling more natural and context-aware interactions. They are commonly available through APIs, cloud AI platforms, and open-source frameworks for use in enterprise applications, creative workflows, robotics, healthcare, education, and software development. By integrating multiple forms of information into a single model, multimodal models enable more capable, flexible, and human-like AI systems.

DeepSeek-VL
DeepSeek
DeepSeek-VL is an open source Vision-Language (VL) model designed for real-world vision and language understanding applications. Our approach is structured around three key dimensions: We strive to ensure our data is diverse, scalable, and extensively covers real-world scenarios, including web screenshots, PDFs, OCR, charts, and knowledge-based content, aiming for a comprehensive representation of practical contexts. Further, we create a use case taxonomy from real user scenarios and construct an instruction tuning dataset accordingly. The fine-tuning with this dataset substantially improves the model's user experience in practical applications. Considering efficiency and the demands of most real-world scenarios, DeepSeek-VL incorporates a hybrid vision encoder that efficiently processes high-resolution images (1024 x 1024), while maintaining a relatively low computational overhead.Starting Price: Free -

Molmo
Ai2
Molmo is a family of open, state-of-the-art multimodal AI models developed by the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2). These models are designed to bridge the gap between open and proprietary systems, achieving competitive performance across a wide range of academic benchmarks and human evaluations. Unlike many existing multimodal models that rely heavily on synthetic data from proprietary systems, Molmo is trained entirely on open data, ensuring transparency and reproducibility. A key innovation in Molmo's development is the introduction of PixMo, a novel dataset comprising highly detailed image captions collected from human annotators using speech-based descriptions, as well as 2D pointing data that enables the models to answer questions using both natural language and non-verbal cues. This allows Molmo to interact with its environment in more nuanced ways, such as pointing to objects within images, thereby enhancing its applicability in fields like robotics and augmented reality. -

Claude Sonnet 4.5
Anthropic
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is Anthropic’s latest frontier model, designed to excel in long-horizon coding, agentic workflows, and intensive computer use while maintaining safety and alignment. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SWE-bench Verified benchmark (for software engineering) and leads on OSWorld (a computer use benchmark), with the ability to sustain focus over 30 hours on complex, multi-step tasks. The model introduces improvements in tool handling, memory management, and context processing, enabling more sophisticated reasoning, better domain understanding (from finance and law to STEM), and deeper code comprehension. It supports context editing and memory tools to sustain long conversations or multi-agent tasks, and allows code execution and file creation within Claude apps. Sonnet 4.5 is deployed at AI Safety Level 3 (ASL-3), with classifiers protecting against inputs or outputs tied to risky domains, and includes mitigations against prompt injection. -

Amazon Nova 2 Omni
Amazon
Nova 2 Omni is a fully unified multimodal reasoning and generation model capable of understanding and producing content across text, images, video, and speech. It can take in extremely large inputs, ranging from hundreds of thousands of words to hours of audio and lengthy videos, while maintaining coherent analysis across formats. This allows it to digest full product catalogs, long-form documents, customer testimonials, and complete video libraries all at the same time, giving teams a single system that replaces the need for multiple specialized models. With its ability to handle mixed media in one workflow, Nova 2 Omni opens new possibilities for creative and operational automation. A marketing team, for example, can feed in product specs, brand guidelines, reference images, and video content and instantly generate an entire campaign, including messaging, social content, and visuals, in one pass.
