AI, Design, and the Power of Open Models

And then we released it and we were really surprised.

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

It's just so many people were so excited about text generation.

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

And then we realized, oh, actually, that's the whole graphic design and storytelling industry.

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

Text is a very important part of image generation.

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

And that became a very important part of our brand.

So if you search Idogram, people talk about the quality of typography, the quality of text.

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

We are known for typography.

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

really stylized typography for logo, t-shirt design, graphic design in general.

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

And so we continue to push forward.

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

I think our previous model wasn't really beating the state of the art in text generation, but we continue to focus on that.

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

And we had a bunch of research breakthroughs.

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

And with this model, despite the fact that it's very tiny, the text generation is very, very accurate.

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

Yeah, it's kind of difficult to exactly describe what resulted in such an amazing model.

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

I think a lot of it is focus and evaluation.

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

Evaluating image models is actually a very difficult thing to do.

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

There are lots of benchmarks out there, but

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

People look at them and they're like, okay, this doesn't correlate with pixel fidelity that I care about or realism.

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

You don't really want Novice users to judge the quality of these models because they may be looking at small monitors that aren't really adjusted for color accuracy.

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

And they always care so much about quality for the realism and

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

Again, text accuracy.
