New 3B-parameter AI model paints pixels directly, bypassing VAE

A new 3-billion-parameter AI model has been developed that generates images by painting each pixel directly, eliminating the need for a variational auto-encoder (VAE). This approach aims to improve image generation quality and efficiency. AI

IMPACT This model's direct pixel painting approach could lead to more efficient and higher-quality image generation in AI.
