A silversmith dumps whole file blobs—PDF bytes, WAV bytes, camera bytes—into one array and calls it multimodal input. What is wrong with that approach?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A mixed dump of file guts is not a model meal. Each modality still needs its own decode into tensors or tokens before anything is “ready.”
Full Explanation
Neural readiness is modality-specific: images become tensors, audio becomes waveforms or spectrograms, text becomes tokens, and scanned PDFs often need OCR. Concatenating undifferentiated file bytes skips those decodes. Claiming only one format is illegal or that some bytes need no decode misses the technical point.
