The multimodal capabilities especially on next action prediction are quite impressive; watching the github to see if & when they'll open source this: https://github.com/microsoft/Magma

Also, I wonder why they named it Magma?

Good catch! A minor correction: Magma - M(ultimodal) Ag(entic) M(odel) at M(icrosoft) (Rese)A(rch), the last part is similar to how the name Llama came out, :)
