Multimodal Prompting
# Multimodal Prompting Guide — 2026
> **Multimodal interaction is now the default, not the exception.** Models natively process text, images, audio, and video. Effective multimodal prompting exploits the complementarities between modalities.
## Why Multimodal Matters
In 2026, every major model supports multiple modalities:
- **Claude 4 Sonnet/Opus**: Text + images (native)
- **GPT-5**: Text + images + audio + video
- **Gemini 2 Pro**: Text + images + audio + video + 1M token context
- **Meta Llama 4**: Text + images (open-weight)
Each modality provides context the others cannot. A product photo shows what words can't describe. An audio clip captures tone. A data visualization reveals patterns.
