What a folding ruler can tell us about neural networks

Deep neural networks are at the heart of artificial intelligence, ranging from pattern recognition to large language and reasoning models like ChatGPT. The principle: during a training phase, the parameters of the network’s artificial neurons are optimized in such a way that they can carry out specific tasks, such as autonomously discovering objects or characteristic …

WAN – Classic 90s Film Aesthetic – LoRa (11 images)

After having finally released almost all of the models teased in my prior post (https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/s/qOHVr4MMbx) I decided to create a brand new style LoRa after having watched The Crow (1994) today and having enjoyed it (RIP Brandon Lee 🙁 ). I am a big fan of the classic 80s and 90s movie aesthetics so it …

Visatronic: A Multimodal Decoder-Only Model for Speech Synthesis

The rapid progress of foundation models and large language models (LLMs) has fueled significantly improvement in the capabilities of machine learning systems that benefit from mutlimodal input data. However, existing multimodal models are predominantly built on top of pre-trained LLMs, which can limit accurate modeling of temporal dependencies across other modalities and thus limit the …

Astralite teases Pony v7 will release sooner than we think

For context, there is a (rather annoying) inside joke on the Pony Diffusion discord server where any questions about release date for Pony V7 is immediately said to be “2 weeks”. On Thursday, Astralite teased on their discord server “<2 weeks” implying the release is sooner than predicted. When asked for clarification (image 2), they …
