Microsoft Research has developed a new text-to-image model called Lens, which achieves performance comparable to larger models despite having only 3.8 billion parameters. This efficiency is attributed to the use of 800 million detailed image captions, generated by GPT-4, rather than less descriptive web alt-text. The model's code and weights have been released under an open-source license. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates that high-quality, detailed captions can significantly improve image generation model efficiency, potentially reducing training costs.
