    We just launched Magenta Studio: a suite of free music-making tools using our machine learning models! They're available as an @Ableton plugin or as standalone Electron apps. So excited to see what you make with them!! #MadeWithMagenta 👉 Download them at g.co/magenta/studio

    That was fast. News sites are already using DALL-E (mini) to generate fake headline images. This move seems questionable to say the least @NextShark

    Check out our @GoogleAI blog post discussing the T5 paper from October and some fun follow-up work.  Not only did T5 redefine SoTA for many NLP tasks 📈, it can also tell you how to make a peanut butter banana sandwich 🥪 even Elvis would be proud of. ai.googleblog.com/2020/02/explor…

    I love music most when it’s live, in the moment, and expressing something personal. This is why I’m psyched about the new “DJ mode” we developed for MusicFX: aitestkitchen.withgoogle.com/tools/music-fx… It’s an infinite AI jam that you control 🎛️. Try mixing your unique 🌀 of instruments, genres,

    As promised, we have made the Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer (T5) models much easier to fine-tune for new tasks, and we just released a Colab notebook where you can try it yourself on a free TPU! 👇 tiny.cc/t5-colab (1/3)

    For a year, the T5 team has collab'd with FLAX and JAX to build a successor to our research library, using it to train models at many scales 📈 on TPU... ...and now you can too! T5X is still in rapid development, but you can use it or find inspiration at goo.gle/t5x!
