IF by DeepFloyd Lab (via) New image generation AI model, financially backed by StabilityAI but based on the Google Imagen paper. Claims to be much better at following complex prompts, including being able to generate text! I tried the Colab notebook with “a photograph of raccoon in the woods holding a sign that says ’I will eat your trash’” and it didn’t quite get the text right, see via link for the result. # 28th April 2023, 7:34 pm

Stability AI Launches the First of its StableLM Suite of Language Models (via) 3B and 7B base models, with 15B and 30B are on the way. CC BY-SA-4.0. “StableLM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on The Pile, but three times larger with 1.5 trillion tokens of content. We will release details on the dataset in due course.” # 19th April 2023, 3:47 pm

How I Used Stable Diffusion and Dreambooth to Create A Painted Portrait of My Dog (via) I like posts like this that go into detail in terms of how much work it takes to deliberately get the kind of result you really want using generative AI tools. Jake Dahn trained a Dreambooth model from 40 photos of Queso—his photogenic Golden Retriever—using Replicate, then gathered the prompts from ten images he liked on Lexica and generated over 1,000 different candidate images, picked his favourite, used Draw Things img2img resizing to expand the image beyond the initial crop, then Automatic1111 inpainting to tweak the ears, then Real-ESRGAN 4x+ to upscale for the final print. # 16th April 2023, 7:57 pm

From Deep Learning Foundations to Stable Diffusion. Brand new free online video course from Jeremy Howard: 30 hours of content, covering everything you need to know to implement the Stable Diffusion image generation algorithm from scratch. I previewed parts of this course back in December and it was fascinating: this field is moving so fast that some of the lectures covered papers that had been released just a few days before. # 5th April 2023, 1:13 am

Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI. Timothy B. Lee provides a thorough discussion of the copyright lawsuits currently targeting Stable Diffusion and GitHub Copilot, including subtle points about how the interpretation of “fair use” might be applied to the new field of generative AI. # 3rd April 2023, 3:34 pm
