  Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) requires comprehensive understanding
and generation capabilities for a variety of tasks spanning different
modalities and functionalities. Integrative AI is one important direction to
approach AGI, through combining multiple models to tackle complex multimodal
tasks. However, there is a lack of a flexible and composable platform to
facilitate efficient and effective model composition and coordination. In this
paper, we propose the i-Code Studio, a configurable and composable framework
for Integrative AI. The i-Code Studio orchestrates multiple pre-trained models
in a finetuning-free fashion to conduct complex multimodal tasks. Instead of
simple model composition, the i-Code Studio provides an integrative, flexible,
and composable setting for developers to quickly and easily compose
cutting-edge services and technologies tailored to their specific requirements.
The i-Code Studio achieves impressive results on a variety of zero-shot
multimodal tasks, such as video-to-text retrieval, speech-to-speech
translation, and visual question answering. We also demonstrate how to quickly
build a multimodal agent based on the i-Code Studio that can communicate and
personalize for users.
