1. Text Generation (LLMs) GenAI LLMs “learn” and are trained on large amounts of data, documents and artifacts that already exist online. GenAI is probabilistic (not deterministic) in nature and tries to predict what’s likely to be useful based on patterns in its training data — not what’s guaranteed to be correct. Large Language Models (LLMs) include GPT-5, Claude, Gemini and LLaMA.
2. Visual & Multimedia Generation These models are trained on image, audio, or video datasets to generate original creative assets based on text or sketch prompts.
Image Generation: Converts text-to-template or text-to-image. (e.g., DALL-E 3 or Midjourney).
3. Code Generation These are specialized models that act as pair programmers, trained on open-source repositories to understand and write functional code.
4. Agentic AI An evolution of traditional chatbots, Agentic AI systems are solutions that not only generate responses but can also execute multi-step workflows autonomously.
Here are a few other common agentic architectures: Basic LLM agent loop, ReAct architectures, Planning + execution architectures, multi-agent systems, hierarchical agent architectures, retrieval-augmented agents, shared workspace architectures, and cognitive architectures.
5. Domain-Specific Enterprise Platforms Businesses utilize custom-built GenAI platforms that are integrated with their internal data (via Retrieval-Augmented Generation, or RAG) to ensure compliance and company-specific accuracy.
6. Education: Education models include models below.
7. Multimodal GenAI Multimodal GenAI includes applications which can combine models and tools such as Text to Image (Adobe Firefly), Text / Image to Video (Sora), Audio to Text (Otter, Whisper), Video to Text (Gemini Pro), Image to Video (Runway), Image to Text or Text to Text or Text to Code (ChatGPT), Video with Audio (Google Veo3), Image and Video (MidJourney), Text to Audio and Video (Google NotebookLM).
