Washington: Meta has announced a new generative AI model that aims at achieving a state-of-the-art performance for text-to-image generation, a company statement stated on Friday.
The unveiling happens at a time when AI-powered image generators have become very popular and accessible. At present, every major company and emerging startups use it for their daily operations.
At present, AI-based image generators like DALL-E2, Google's Imagen and Stable Diffusion rely on a process called diffusion for art creation, where the respective AI model learns by gradually subtracting noise from an image, thereby working efficiently on the prompts given.
However, the process of diffusion is intensive, expensive and time-taking, whereas CM3leon relies on a mechanism called attention that takes more importance to the input prompt, which can be a text or an image. In comparison, CM3Leon is expected to be more efficient and requires less computation and a smaller dataset compared to other models.
