Biases in Apple's Image Playground(giete.ma) Although Image Playground is heavily restricted, and we do not have direct access to the underlying model, can we still use the prompting interface with the above image input to influence the skin tone of the resulting image? Turns out we can, and in precisely the biased way most image models behave 🤦♂️.
How to Train an AI Image Model on Yourself(coryzue.com) Yesterday I had a couple hours to kill and decided to try out a project I’ve been meaning to explore for a long time: training my own AI image model so I can generate pictures of myself that look like this:
1.58-Bit Flux(chenglin-yang.github.io) We present 1.58-bit FLUX, the first successful approach to quantizing the state-of-the-art text-to-image generation model, FLUX.1-dev, using 1.58-bit weights (i.e., values in {-1, 0, +1}) while maintaining comparable performance for generating 1024 x 1024 images.
NYT Quiz: Which Parts of These Images Are A.I.-Generated?(nytimes.com) Artificial intelligence tools can fabricate entirely new images and videos. But they can now also make much smaller tweaks by inserting A.I. elements into genuine photographs, further blurring the line between what’s real and what’s fake.

Veo and Imagen 3: Announcing new video and image generation models on Vertex AI(cloud.google.com) Generative AI is leading to real business growth and transformation. Among enterprise companies with gen AI in production, 86% report an increase in revenue1, with an estimated 6% growth. That’s why Google is investing in its AI technology with new models like Veo, our most advanced video generation model, and Imagen 3, our highest quality image generation model.

FLUX1.1 [Pro] Ultra and Raw Modes(blackforestlabs.ai) Today, we are adding new high-resolution capabilities to FLUX1.1 [pro], extending its functionality to support 4x higher image resolutions (up to 4MP) while maintaining an impressive generation time of only 10 seconds per sample.
Low-poly image generation using evolutionary algorithms in Ruby (2023)(thomascountz.com) Inspired by biological systems, evolutionary algorithms model the patterns of multi-generational evolution in order to unearth unique ideas. They work by generating a vast number of potential solutions to a particular problem and then pitting them against each other in a process akin natural selection: only the fittest survive. In this way, evolutionary algorithms are able to navigate large ambiguous search spaces in order to find solutions to problems that may be difficult or inefficient to solve using other methods.
