This efficiency makes it viable for enterprises to move beyond generic off-the-shelf solutions and develop specialized models ...

A few years ago, a new kind of AI called a diffusion model appeared. Today, it powers tools like Stable Diffusion and Runway Gen-2, turning text prompts into high-quality images and even short videos.

Diffusion models gradually refine and produce a requested output, sometimes starting from random noise—values generated by the model itself—and sometimes working from user-provided data. Think of ...

Following a string of controversies stemming from technical hiccups and licensing changes, AI startup Stability AI has announced its latest family of image-generation models. The new Stable Diffusion ...

The new Mercury 2 AI model uses diffusion reasoning to generate 1,000 tokens per second; it runs about 5x faster than Haiku, speed limits are ...
