Stuff you should know

Meta's Powerful Generative AI model

Meta introduces CM3leon (pronounced like “chameleon”), a state-of-the-art generative model that can perform both text-to-image and image-to-text generation.

CM3leon is a multimodal model trained using a recipe adapted from text-only language models, including a large-scale retrieval-augmented pre-training stage and a second multitask supervised fine-tuning (SFT) stage. This approach allows CM3leon to achieve exceptional performance in text-to-image generation while requiring only five times the computing power and a smaller training dataset compared to previous transformer-based methods

Key Stats :

• Performance:

  • Achieves exceptional performance in text-to-image generation

• Efficiency:

  • Requires only five times the computing power compared to previous transformer-based methods

• Training Dataset:

  • Uses a smaller training dataset compared to previous methods

• Multimodal Model:

  • Can handle multiple modalities (text and image) within a single model

Google DeepMind's Image Diffusion Model

DeepMind's Semantica is an advanced image-conditioned diffusion model that can generate high-quality and diverse images based on the semantics of a conditioning image.

Semantica is trained exclusively on web-scale image pairs to leverage the semantic attributes shared between images from the same webpage, and its architecture consists of a pre-trained image encoder and a diffusion model that generates the target image guided by the encoded semantic representations.

While Semantica demonstrates impressive performance across various datasets, it faces some limitations, such as high computational requirements, dependence on a frozen encoder, potential for oversaturation, and occasional artifacts. Nonetheless, Semantica represents a significant advancement in generative models, and future research directions include improving efficiency, incorporating additional conditioning signals, and overcoming the model's current limitations, with the goal of further enhancing the capabilities of image-conditioned diffusion models.

Convert Your Static Photo into Realistic Animated Video

D-ID's innovative AI technology allows users to effortlessly transform still photos into engaging AI videos through their Creative Reality Studio, offering features like Live Portrait and Speaking Portrait for video creation from single photos or text.

The platform, powered by Stable Diffusion and GPT-3, can output videos in over 100 languages without technical knowledge, catering to various industries from marketing to e-learning. D-ID's recent updates, including emotions for avatars and enhanced user interaction, showcase the company's commitment to advancing generative AI technology and providing users with a simplified and customizable video creation experience.
