Pix2Pix model runs in real-time on older CPU

A Reddit user has shared a small-scale implementation of the Pix2Pix model, specifically using L2 (Mean Squared Error) loss. This model, trained on four background images, operates at a resolution of 64x64 pixels and contains approximately 2 million parameters. The user reports that it runs in real-time on a 2012 Ivy Bridge CPU. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the potential for running generative models on less powerful hardware.
