Publication number: 20250139379Abstract: Implementations relate to generating multi-modal response(s) through utilization of large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input, generate a multi-modal response that is responsive to the NL based output, and cause the multi-modal response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the multi-modal response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, textual content and generative multimedia content for inclusion in the multi-modal response. In some implementations, the generative multimedia content can be generated by another generative model (e.g., an image generator, a video generator, an audio generator, etc.) based on generative multimedia content prompt(s) included in the LLM output and that is indicative of the generative multimedia content.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Sanil Jain, Wei Yu, Alessandro Agostini, Agoston Weisz, Michael Andrew Goodman, Attila Dankovics, Elle Chae, Evgeny Sluzhaev, Amin Ghafouri, Golnaz Ghiasi, Igor Petrovski, Konstantin Shagin, Marcelo Menegali, Oscar Akerlund, Rakesh Shivanna, Thang Luong, Tiffany Chen, Vikas Peswani, Yifeng Lu

Patent number: 12277400Abstract: Implementations relate to managing multimedia content that is obtained by large language model(s) (LLM(s)) and/or generated by other generative model(s). Processor(s) of a system can: receive natural language (NL) based input that requests multimedia content, generate a response that is responsive to the NL based input, and cause the response to be rendered. In some implementations, and in generating the response, the processor(s) can process, using a LLM, LLM input to generate LLM output, and determine, based on the LLM output, at least multimedia content to be included in the response. Further, the processor(s) can evaluate the multimedia content to determine whether it should be included in the response. In response to determining that the multimedia content should not be included in the response, the processor(s) can cause the response, including alternative multimedia content or other textual content, to be rendered.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2024Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sanil Jain, Wei Yu, Ágoston Weisz, Michael Andrew Goodman, Diana Avram, Amin Ghafouri, Golnaz Ghiasi, Igor Petrovski, Khyatti Gupta, Oscar Akerlund, Evgeny Sluzhaev, Rakesh Shivanna, Thang Luong, Komal Singh, Yifeng Lu, Vikas Peswani
