Multimodal AI Systems: Real vs. Batch Processing

In the world of multimodal AI, systems process and combine multiple types of data - such as text, images, audio, and video - to generate intelligent insights or responses. One of the key decisions in designing these systems is whether to use real-time processing or batch processing. Real-time processing delivers results instantly as data arrives, while batch processing handles large volumes of data on a schedule. Choosing the right approach impacts system performance, cost, and user experience, and understanding how to implement each is essential for building scalable AI applications.
