Linum AI has released pjit-21k, a 2 billion parameter text-to-image model trained for approximately $21,000 in compute. The model was trained on 660 million samples and is intended as a research artifact to explore efficient training methods. While not a production-ready model, Linum AI is releasing it to encourage further exploration in this area. The weights and associated text encoder are available on Hugging Face, requiring a CUDA GPU for operation. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates efficient training methods for smaller models, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for AI research.
