🖼️ 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...
