gif/video support in chat #231837

It will be great when we have image support in core. It would be nice to also have gif/video support. For example, a dev could attach a gif to the release notes and generate alt text for it, or a user could attach a screen recording and ask for debugging help.

this is interesting - we'd effectively have to split the gif/video into frames and include each frame as as an image, since open ai doesn't have pure video (mp4, mov) support and turns gifs into still images.

I believe they mitigate the issue of having a BUNCH of issues by capping each query to 500 tokens. I think in our extension we can definitely play around with this and maybe set some hard caps.
