 Multi-modal inputs can be passed alongside text and token prompts to [supported models](#supported-mm-models)

-Currently, vLLM only has built-in support for image data. You can extend vLLM to process additional modalities
-by following [this guide](#adding-multimodal-plugin).

 Looking to add your own multi-modal model? Please follow the instructions listed [here](#enabling-multimodal-inputs).

-Each modality in vLLM is represented by a {class}`~vllm.multimodal.MultiModalPlugin` and registered to {data}`~vllm.multimodal.MULTIMODAL_REGISTRY`.
-For vLLM to recognize a new modality type, you have to create a new plugin and then pass it to {meth}`~vllm.multimodal.MultiModalRegistry.register_plugin`.
