- We release a new ViT-G/14 CLIP model with OpenCLIP which achieves 80.1% zero-shot accuracy on ImageNet and 74.9% zero-shot image retrieval (Recall@5) on MS COCO. As of January 2023, this is the best open source CLIP model. laion.ai/blog/giant-ope… huggingface.co/laion/CLIP-ViT…
- We Release... 608 B chess moves, 236 B Rubik's Cube moves, 39 B A* moves in ASCII Mazes ... to improve planing abilities of LLMs:
- We present LAION-COCO, the world’s largest dataset of 600M AI generated high-quality captions for publicly available web-images
- Following our previous open letter to the EU on the significance of open-source AI, LAION, backed by European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) and a long list of very impactful AI researchers, we submit this new open letter to the EU
- We release a open letter to the EU Parlament supported by Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber, Prof. Sepp Hochreiter, Prof. Bernhard Schölkopf, the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, the German AI Association ( >400 businesses ) & many more:
- The most important insight from O(1): You can make models significantly smarter by combining CoT with RL, like STAR and Quient-STAR suggest arxiv.org/abs/2203.14465 arxiv.org/abs/2403.09629
- Guiding Stable Diffusion with our CLIP H: "Professional HDR photo of a polar bear holding a lollipop on a rooftop in Hong Kong looking up at a UFO in the night sky. A UFO flies above the polar bear. The polar bear holds a lollipop on a rooftop. The background shows Hong Kong."
- Keeping AI as closed source is unethical. It could delay crucial inventions like curing diseases and solving climate change. By sharing AI as open source, we can solve these problems faster and better.
- On Germany's biggest IT-news site:
- We release LeoLM, a series of German speaking chat models based on Lama 2 7b and 13b. They preserve their ability to understand english text. We also also versions that can reply in English and in German & perform translation between these languages:
- We present BUD-E: A naturally sounding open-source voice assistant that runs on a standard gaming laptop with low latency, without requiring an internet connection. Join our Discord & help us build your future BUD-E! :)
