Are there any benchmarks (speed, accuracy, etc.) for non-OCR use cases? I want to label images and videos, but don't really care about text.

Whether that's Banksy's identity or not, I'm calling it now: this is another Banksy publicity stunt / public performance. Not really sure what to call it, except perhaps art. Andrew Gallagher is the next Mr. Brainwash. T

This is pop-sci journalists once again ruining the message by either not understanding the paper or by dumbing it down to the point it becomes lazy and counter-factual. I think it's mostly the former, because there definitely exists a

This wasn't even my point [1], but I'll go there. Turn the other cheek. Ignore it. It's 2025 we're learning lessons from USENET all over again and having to reign in the over-sensitive, disregulated behavior of some peop

Probably way too much effort. The apps aren't built for generic infra, but rather Google's internal weirdware. It wouldn't be possible to run it anywhere else without a rewrite.

You can fight back by supporting and advocating for open source foundation text to speech models. XTTS, GptSoVits, Tortoise, Zonos, etc. Open source models drive proprietary foundation models' margin to zero. The only reason elevenlabs

If the copyright holders win, the model giants will just license. This effectively kills open source, which can't afford to license and won't be able to sublicense training data. This is very bad for democratized access to and dev

I wholeheartedly disagree. Pixar does not have a monopoly on attention to detail. They're flush with cash and their leadership has decent taste. There are so many creators putting in intense work, and doing it on low budgets. You can&#

They're Pixar because these movies require hundreds of millions of dollars to make. Good writing and good directing don't need hundreds of millions of dollars.
