Multimodal embeddings

Abstract

Implementations relate to generating and using multimodal embeddings. In various implementations, first modality data may be obtained and encoded into first modality embedding(s) using a trained first modality encoder that is stored in memory of edge-based client device(s). Second modality data may be obtained and encoded into second modality embedding(s) using a trained second modality encoder that is also stored in the memory of the edge-based client device(s). The first and second modality embeddings may be processed using an edge-based multimodal LLM that is also stored locally in memory of the edge-based client device(s) to generate a multimodal contextual embedding, which may be provided to a remote server that hosts a central LLM, e.g., in conjunction with a natural language input provided by the user. Information generated using the central LLM, responsive to the natural language input, may be received from the remote server.
