| `text` | Text content | [Type Definition](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/litellm/types/llms/openai.py#L598) |
| `image_url` | Images | [Vision](./vision.md) |

| `video_url` | Video input | [Type Definition](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/litellm/types/llms/openai.py#L625) |
| `file` | Files | [Document Understanding](./document_understanding.md) |
| `document` | Documents/PDFs | [Document Understanding](./document_understanding.md) |
