The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

I sort of believe that

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

you need a general understanding of the world in order to even be good at logo generation or be good at illustration style.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

But once you have a general base, then you can customize the model for certain use cases and it can be the best at that particular use case.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

So we're really excited about customization.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

We think that's a new frontier.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

And again, that's an important reason for releasing the model with open weights.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

That is, every artist who has

AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

at least like 50 pieces of art or hopefully like a little more, they can really customize this model to the nuances of their style, the texture of their canvas and really get 2K output and hopefully make that part of their workflow and, you know, be augmented with AI and be a lot more productive and creative.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

And we actually have worked with some artists in resident who,

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

said to us, okay, this at least made me 3x faster in making this comic book.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

So that's one frontier.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

And another frontier is enterprise again, because it's not about how good a model is in the general sense.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

It's about how good is this model for my use case.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

At the end of the day, I may not care about many of the general purpose use cases.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

I may not care about character consistency, for example, as an enterprise.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

But even though this model is small, they think it can be the best model for particular use cases, whether that's a certain artist or whether that's an enterprise.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

Yeah, yeah.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

So some of the enterprises we work with are very sensitive.

The a16z Show
AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

They don't want to talk about using AI in their visual side of things.

But what we've seen over and over again is
