Craiyon
Craiyon is an AI model that generates images from text. You enter a text prompt (what you want to see) and Craiyon then goes about creating it. It was developed as a lighter version of OpenAI's DALL-E, and was initially named DALL-E Mini. It is free to use for non-commercial purposes but sponsored by ads. The capabilities of image generation models are impressive, but there are some limitations – the model surprises on the one hand with unexpected creations but seems limited to the common stereotyping and imagery that dominates the sources from which the model is learning. Its artificially created images and especially the faces can look very weird at times. It is trained using the Google PU Research Cloud (TRC). It can be used through the website and most people do just that. It can also be downloaded from Github, for those who want to do more with it than simply create fun memes and image. The Craiyon model was initially trained on millions of images from the internet and captions that accompanied them. With this it was able to train to create the images from just a text prompt. Not only was the model created to be able to reproduce the images, it was also trained to combine concepts to create new images from any prompt it had a reference for.
