I sat down with CEO Jordan Meyer and CTO Nick Padgett to talk all things Public Diffusion, from fine-tuning, to prompting like a photographer and what’s next for beta testers. Link to the interview, and some choice quotes, in 🧵

A peek into what’s planned for beta testing: “this early beta is a crucial step towards our goal of releasing an open-weight model into the commons next year. . . .” open.substack.com/pub/spawning/p…

What CEO Jordan Meyer hopes PD will be known for: “[enabling] a whole class of users—who were uncomfortable with other methods—to engage with AI seriously and professionally and deeply, and to come up with new techniques in their own artistic practice that they're excited about.” open.substack.com/pub/spawning/p…

Our CTO, @ncpadge, took a step back from Public Diffusion beta prep to share some results from the model he's been tirelessly working on.

More Public Diffusion samples! It’s still very early on (<33% done), but I’m optimistic with the quality of these outputs. Some interesting examples in 🧵, all prompts in the alt text. My favorites:

Here are some images from our first candidate model for Public Diffusion. It still needs a lot more time in the oven, but these early results are very promising. Prompts in the alt text.

Public Diffusion proves a radical idea: you don’t need infinite data—you need curated data. With just public domain images, the early results rival top-tier AI art models with just 30% training complete. The future isn’t owned. It’s shared. cc: @spawning_ @ncpadge @JordanCMeyer

Some were skeptical that a public domain collection could produce a model with image quality rivaling top-tier AI art systems. Here are some comparisons of early PD outputs vs. Flux Dev, using the same prompts. To my eyes, PD is holding its own and looking more painterly.

First visual model trained on fully open data coming. Like for text, the striking thing is not only that it is possible in the first place but that it brings so much more variety and diversity of outputs. There’s an entire world beyond web archives.

With Public Diffusion, @spawning_ set out to prove that it's possible to train a beautiful AI Art model using only images from the public domain. As of today, we’re 30% into training our first model, and the early results speak for themselves. Take a look…🧵

Join the private beta to help test Public Diffusion @spawning_ PD is a foundation image model trained on 30m highly aesthetic images from the public domain We will show it is possible to have excellent AI models for art that do not require training on copyrighted material

While lawsuits about training data and copyright law wend their way through the courts... ...@spawning_ is building image generation tools trained on public domain/CC0. Check out Public Diffusion.
