Cutting-Edge Writer’s Innovations: Turning Images into Text with Chart and Graph Integration

Today, the company announced a new capability for its Palmyra model that generates text from images, including graphs and charts, they call Palmyra-Vision. May Habib, company co-founder and CEO, says that they made a strategic decision to concentrate on multimodal content, and being able to generate text from images is part of that strategy. “We are going to be focused on multimodal input, but text output, so text generation and insight that is delivered via text,” Habib told TechCrunch. She reserves the right to create charts and graphs at some point from data, but that’s not something they are doing at the moment. This particular release is focused on generating text from those kinds of images.

Global venture capital resultsThis chart doesn’t appear too dramatic at first glance. However, Q4 2023 was particularly bad: Q4 2017 was the last time we saw venture investment in the last three months of the year fall so low. That’s not good, especially as venture investment continued to drop in every quarter of 2023.
