🖼️ Most text-to-image models only really work in English.
This limits who can use them and whose imagination they reflect.

We asked: can we build a small, efficient model that understands prompts in multiple languages natively?

Wie heeft toegang tot computerkracht tbv AI? Vooral big Tech. Een paar jaar geleden was dat nog de overheid. Illustratief: Musks xAI heeft 200.000 Nvidia-chips, de gehele Nederlandse wetenschap 650. www.volkskrant.nl/tech/de-over...
De overheid heeft het nakijken met AI-supercomputers: ‘We zijn overgeleverd aan big tech’
De AI-revolutie draait, behalve op grote hoeveelheden data, op gigantische en energieslurpende computerparken. In een paar jaar tijd is het krachtenveld verschoven van publieke naar commerciële partij...

📢 New preprint!

We benchmark 99 image and video models 🤖 on brain representational alignment to fMRI data of 10 humans 🧠 watching videos!
Here’s a quick breakdown:🧵⬇️

One Hundred Neural Networks and Brains Watching Videos: Lessons from Alignment
What can we learn from comparing video models to human brains, arguably the most efficient and effective video processing systems in existence? Our work takes a step towards answering this question by...
