So I’ve been doing lots of other stuff between now and the last posting (lab reorg, server rebuilds, new tech), but I’ll cover those in another post when I can put them all together nicely! I thought I’d make a short but nethertheless interesting post on a new AI platform for image generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have used Cog Video<\/a> on my home lab, which is incredible in its ability to do text to image creation, so it was great interest to read about OmniGen<\/a> which takes that to the next level. I loaded this up on my P100 home lab server and whilst it took a little time (c.15 min for one image, c. 30 min for two image manipulation) it was amazing to see what it could produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started with some random ideas, such as breakdancing beavers in time square in new york. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was astounded by the results, not only in image quality, but how accurate the model had turned the text into what I had asked. This was all possible with Cog VIdeo, so what is it that got me really excited about OmniGen, well it can take pictures and do a plethora of actions. One online friend suggested this was how so many of these ‘deep fakes’ where created, which raised the ethical use of AI as a benefit or a burden to society, indeed a platform like this it would be very easy to make high quality images that where so life-like it would be difficult to tell they where generated by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was netherthe less very happy to try out another AI image platform and start reading the paper so I could learn more about it myself and be able to run it on my home lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to ‘play’ yourself, there is a platform available here<\/a>, which provides access to create your own images. I’m very excited about this, but much like any ‘tool’ its unto the user to make best use of it responsibly !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
