It's a faulty consensus that came from people comparing outputs from the base model with fine tunes of the SD1.5 model. SD2.1 actually is a far superior model once fine-tuned. I agree that it's a shame that StabilityAI seem to str

The evaluation prompts I saw ( https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1kK6xasHiav9nhiRUJjP... ) were all "encyclopedia-style", asking for summaries of information that would have occurred many times in the

GPT-4 has a bit of a bias towards overly formal, "textbook" English, which could be similar to what many non-native speakers learned.

Absolutely. There's no doubt teams already training multi-modal models on subsets of the videos in YouTube (there's already published examples training on Minecraft videos). There's even tons of POV videos now literally showi

GPT3.5 is a little less clear but still gets the answer: As a language model, I can provide an analysis of the sentence structure and provide possible interpretations based on standard English usage. However, I do not have any context regar

Meh... I think their prompt construction may be leading the models astray. Counter example with GPT-4: Prompt: You are a professor of English literature at an Ivy League university. A person said "I’m afraid the cat was hit by a car.&q

That's kind of what I meant... If a prompt specifies one "Indian", and one "Asian", that implies that the writer of the prompt doesn't think of Indian as Asian so probably from the US background.

by janekm 3y ago
A human interpreting the prompt would see "asian" as being in contrast to "indian" in the language of the prompt... Not a level of comprehension that can be expected of current models but maybe in a few years (months?).

The thing is... IF is currently just a base model, it will need serious fine-tuning before it will produce aesthetically pleasing images (like MJ certainly does). It's interesting to see what IF can do in terms of composition, text ren

The chip and pin terminals are now cheaper than the magstripe ones ever were (about $60) and are accessible to many more businesses, even those that don’t have multi year trading history with their bank. It’s absurd to say they could be use

Was, when it came out, since then MJ have released 3 new models (plus variants) and most users assess the MJv5 model as more powerful. Of course new SD models are also on the horizon…

That sounds to me like it'd cause all sorts of trouble in the real world (authentication, changes to endpoint URLs, difficulty to agglomerate data), and not surprisingly the Next.js documentation states `For now, if you need to fetch d

That's simply not true at all. Except for a very narrow range of commodities price is very weakly correlated with production costs. The difference between a $10 steak and a $300 steak is not correlated with the energy used to produce e

Yes, as a lone developer. If you're working in a team it's less likely to work out well as you will have a much more significant training period for anyone to join one of your projects (in a team environment it's wise to go w

You just now need to write your own tool to take the emails these folks send you and get a GPT to summarise and rephrase them in the voice you would appreciate ;) (I'm not even joking, I think that's our future...)

It is ironic, but MIT license definitely does not require attribution from websites using the code on the backend (otherwise you'd see a rather large attribution list at the bottom of Google.com or any website...)

For image inference 12GB is ok for now (but you may not be able to use all future models given that T5 language model is becoming popular), for training I'd consider 24GB the bare minimum.

Sometimes the business plan is to use human guidance initially but use it to improve the automated models, which gives you both first mover advantage and better training data… would be a smart play in this space.

It generates nerfs (which have some advantages as well as disadvantages depending on application) but Luma AI is arguably SotA for photogrammetry on iPhones.
