So here is my understanding of current native image generation scenario, I might be wrong so please correct me, I'm still learning it and I'd appreaciate the help.
First time native image gen was introduced in Gemini 1.5 Flash if I'm not wrong, and then OpenAI was released for 4o which took over the internet by Ghibli Art.
We have been getting good quality images from almost all image generators like Midjourney, OpenAI and other providers, but the thing that made it special was true "multimodal" nature of it. Here's what I mean
When you used to ask chatgpt to create an image, it will rephrase that prompt and internally send that prompt to Dalle, similarly gemini would send it to Imagen which were diffusion models and they had little to know context in your next response about what's there in the previous image
In native image generation, it understands Audio, Text and even Image tokens in the same model and need not to rely on diffusion models internally, I don't think both Openai and google has released how they've trained it but my guess is that it's partially auto-regressive and diffusion but not sure about it
in the video they've added in announcement, they are showing some live interaction with the model(which is quite fast as compared to AI Edge gallery app), how's it built, how can I use it like this?
Indeed. I had also built this dashboard(1) which overrides my browser tab so I am always aware of what I have to get done. I need to start using it again.
Locking some apps without knowing the password also helped me. I used to ask one of my friends who used to stay sufficiently away to lock with some password so that I would hesitate to go that far and feel guilty enough to even think that.
Thanks for the attachments.
