Inspiration

A bunch of people on Twitter have been asking if AI generated thumbnails are possible. It's really difficult for a variety of reasons, but we figured with a big enough team we might be able to make something solid!

What it does

Enter the title of your youtube video and a brief description, and thumb farm will generate 9 thumbnail concepts for you in the style of mrbeast.

How we built it

Youtube title => ai text generation to create prompts for thumbnails => custom mrbeast thumbnail dreambooth model on replicate

Challenges we ran into

Replicate doesn't support negative prompts for dreambooth, so we had to make a custom backend to run our model properly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It takes a bit of time, but it is pretty magical and hilarious. The app won't make final thumbnails you can publish, but it can make thumbnail concepts you can work off of.

What we learned

AI Thumbnails are as hard as we thought they were. We can reasonably mimic a single thumbnail with prompt engineering, but to get generic thumbnails for all possible videos, it's much harder.

What's next for Thumb Farm

Quality increase of dreambooth model, prompts, etc.
