  Recent years have witnessed astonishing progress in generative image modeling, with neural network-based models able to synthesize increasingly realistic and detailed images. This rapid advancement is quantitatively reflected in the steady decrease of Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) scores over time. The FID score measures the similarity between generated and real images based on feature activations extracted from a pretrained image classifier network. Lower FID scores indicate greater similarity to real images and thus higher quality generations from the model. Around 2020, architectural innovations like BigGAN precipitated a substantial leap in generated image fidelity as measured by FID. BigGAN proposed techniques like class-conditional batch normalization and progressive growing of generator and discriminator models to stabilize training and generate higher resolution, more realistic images compared to prior generative adversarial networks (GANs).  The introduction of B...

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to rapidly advance, bringing innovative new capabilities and convenience to our lives. From AI assistants to creative tools, machines keep getting smarter. Here are 5 of the most exciting new AI developments you need to know about. An Open Source AI Code Interpreter That Runs Locally A Developer has created an open source AI code interpreter that allows you to control your computer through natural language commands. For example, you can change dark mode, create simple apps, summarize documents, and more - all by using natural language. The code interpreter, which has over 17,000 stars on GitHub, could save developers huge amounts of time. AI Video Generators Add Camera Controls Two leading AI video generation platforms, RunwayML and Pika labs, have added camera controls like panning, zooming, and rotating. This allows users to move the camera around in the AI-generated scene, creating more dynamic and customized videos. As AI video tech continues ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) company Stability AI has unveiled its latest creation - Stable Audio - which represents a significant advance in AI's ability to generate high-quality music. Stable Audio utilizes a cutting-edge latent diffusion architecture to create original music compositions from simple text prompts in just seconds. The model was trained on over 800,000 audio samples and can generate 45-90 second tracks with rich instrumentation and production value. Early audio samples from Stability AI demonstrate Stable Audio's capacity to produce stylistically diverse music like trance, ambient soundscapes, and drum solos based on descriptive prompts. The quality and coherence of these AI-generated tracks are lightyears ahead of previous text-to-audio models like Google's MusicLM and Meta's Audiocraft. By producing music at CD-quality 44.1kHz sampling rate, Stable Audio opens up possibilities for AI music generation to be used commercially. The in...

The field of AI video generation has been advancing at an incredibly rapid pace over the past year. Two of the leading companies in this space, RunwayML and Pika Labs, have both recently released major updates that allow for much greater control and direction of AI-generated video. RunwayML's new "Director Mode" for their Gen 2 software is a game-changer. Instead of just typing a text prompt and getting whatever video results, you can now control aspects like zooming, panning, tilting, and camera movements.  The ability to dictate these cinematic techniques makes the generated videos appear much more polished and intentional. While the underlying video quality itself still appears quite dreamlike and distorted, this controllability is a huge step forward. Some early testers like Nick St Pierre have created impressive scenes utilizing Director Mode. In one video, the camera smoothly zooms in on an airplane wing as the pilot moves into frame, panning across the cockpit, the...

AI image generation has taken the art world by storm. With the emergence of new AI art tools like DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, it's now possible for anyone to generate stunning works of art simply by describing what they want in a text prompt. However, coming up with the perfect prompt to generate your desired image can be challenging. This is where tools like G Prompter come in handy. In a recent Youtube video, a content creator demonstrated how G Prompter can help you quickly generate effective prompts for AI art tools like Leonardo. G Prompter allows you to "train" the tool on prompts that have worked well for you in the past. It then uses AI itself to generate new long and descriptive prompts based on your input. Training G Prompter on Leonardo The video creator decided to train G Prompter specifically for generating photorealistic images using Leonardo's "Photoreal" model. Leonardo has a database of top community images along with the pro...
