A few years ago, a new kind of AI called a diffusion model appeared. Today, it powers tools like Stable Diffusion and Runway Gen-2, turning text prompts into high-quality images and even short videos.

OpenAI’s Sora, which can generate videos and interactive 3D environments on the fly, is a remarkable demonstration of the cutting edge in GenAI — a bona fide milestone. But curiously, one of the ...

Diffusion models gradually refine and produce a requested output, sometimes starting from random noise—values generated by the model itself—and sometimes working from user-provided data. Think of ...

Following a string of controversies stemming from technical hiccups and licensing changes, AI startup Stability AI has announced its latest family of image-generation models. The new Stable Diffusion ...

The development of large language models (LLMs) is entering a pivotal phase with the emergence of diffusion-based architectures. These models, spearheaded by Inception Labs through its new Mercury ...

From the perspective of US-China competition, the significance is not simply that Washington wants more AI. It is that the ...

“Macro placement is a vital step in digital circuit design that defines the physical location of large collections of components, known as macros, on a 2-dimensional chip. The physical layout obtained ...
