Описание: GenAI: Summary of Breakthroughs in Image Generation by Olof Harrysson, Machine Learning Engineer @ Modulai

This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in generative AI, specifically within the realm of image generation. We highlight the capabilities of influential models such as Stable Diffusion and MidJourney, accompanied by a showcase of stunning and creative images they have produced.

We address the significant contributions of LORA in the development of custom models. These models are specifically designed to generate images with particular styles or concepts, marking a significant leap in personalized content creation.

Further, we explore innovative features like ControlNet, which gives users the ability to shape the structure of generated images, and IPAdapter, which introduces the concept of image-based prompts for generation.
Our focus then shifts to the dynamic open-source community, a treasure trove of diverse tools, techniques, and models that continuously fuel progress in this field. Among these innovations, we highlight ComfyUI, a tool that has been aptly likened to the “Photoshop” of image generation, due to its versatility and powerful features.

Our conversation extends beyond the technical intricacies to include the broader business implications, illustrating how these advancements are revolutionizing industries.

To conclude our presentation, we will peer into the future of image generation, anticipating further innovations and exploring the evolving landscape of this fascinating field.
