“Make-A-Scene provides a level of control that’s been missing in other SOTA generative AI systems. Text prompting alone is constrained, often like wandering in the dark. Being able to control the composition is a powerful extension for artists & designers” - artist @_ScottEaton_

(1/2) We recently announced the release of OPT-175B and now, as promised, we’re releasing OPT-66B, the largest unrestricted open-sourced model to date. We're also releasing our logbook used for training all of our baselines: 125M through 66B. github.com/facebookresearch/…
Today Meta AI is sharing OPT-175B, the first 175-billion-parameter language model to be made available to the broader AI research community. OPT-175B can generate creative text on a vast range of topics. Learn more & request access: ai.facebook.com/blog/democra…

A lot of the effort to move ML on device is to have better privacy guarantees (plus other benefits in terms of user experience).

Today marks 5 years since the public release of PyTorch! We didn't expect to come this far, but here we're🙂- 2K Contributors, 90K Projects, 3.9M lines of "import torch" on GitHub. More importantly, we're still receiving lots of love and having a great ride. Here's to the future!

Is textless NLP a truer form of NLP?
GSLM, our first-of-its-kind “textless #NLP” model, learns to generate expressive speech using only raw audio as input. ai.facebook.com/blog/textles… It generates novel content & prosody congruently with a prompt’s expressive style, as in this example from Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park:
