New AI Tool Generates Images 8x Faster Than OpenAI, Runs on Affordable Hardware
- New AI image generator runs 8x faster than OpenAI tools, works on cheap hardware
- Uses "knowledge distillation" to compress model down to 700 million parameters
- Can run on GPUs with just 8GB RAM (vs expensive industrial GPUs for larger models)
- Created 5 versions - 3 "KOALA" image generators and 2 "Ko-LLaVA" video/image QA models
- Team plans to integrate technology into existing services like education, content production
