Build sophisticated production-ready applications that seamlessly integrate text, image, audio, and video processing. This advanced course goes beyond basics to cover streaming architectures, temporal reasoning across modalities, and battle-tested patterns for handling edge cases at scale. Learn how to design systems that process multiple data streams concurrently, synchronise temporal information across modalities, and implement robust error handling for real-world deployment. You'll explore production patterns used by leading AI teams, including caching strategies, backpressure handling, and graceful degradation when one modality fails. Through hands-on projects, you'll architect complete multimodal systems with production-grade UIs, implement efficient inference pipelines, and solve real challenges like synchronising video frames with transcribed audio and handling variable latency across different model endpoints.
