An illustrated explainer article on VQGAN, describing how the model generates images from text at a conceptual level and how VQGAN and CLIP work in tandem. It covers a theory of perception, using transformers to model interactions, expressing images through a codebook, and training the GAN and transformer.
Paperspace
Paperspace is a cloud GPU platform now owned by DigitalOcean. It provides access to NVIDIA H100 GPUs for AI and machine learning workloads, rendering, 3D graphics, simulations and cloud gaming. Users can develop, train and deploy AI applications on the platform, which is used by over 500,000 builders. Its product offerings include Gradient for AI model development, hosted notebooks, cloud desktops and deployment tools, with solutions tailored for machine learning, enterprise virtual desktops, gaming and rendering use cases.

0A Hugging Face blog post introducing Matryoshka Embedding models. It explains embeddings as numerical representations and describes how Matryoshka models store more important information in earlier dimensions, allowing large embeddings to be truncated while remaining useful. It covers theoretical training and training with Sentence Transformers, with a comparison to a regular embedding model.

0An article by Andy Baio examining how AI companies use datasets and models from academic and nonprofit research groups. It describes Meta's Make-A-Video using Shutterstock clips and YouTube videos collected by Microsoft, and notes nonprofit datasets used for Stable Diffusion and other models. It argues this outsourcing shifts accountability and legal liability away from corporations.
