🔍 Get Your Zoom On: AI's Newest Visual Sensation

Say hello to Stable Infinite Zoom Out and Zoom In, the free AI-powered tool that generates infinite zoom-ins and zoom-outs on Hugging Face with the help of Stable Diffusion. Witness the ultimate blend of technology and artistry, and dive into a never-ending visual experience.

🦙 Alpaca: The Llama's Budget-Friendly Cousin in AI Land

Discover Alpaca, a surprisingly affordable and replicable instruction-following model, fine-tuned from Meta's LLaMA 7B. Alpaca shows similar capabilities to OpenAI's text-davinci-003, but with a fraction of the cost! Perfect for academic research, but not for commercial use (yet).

And the best thing? You can now use Alpaca on your own device! I stumbled upon this fantastic tutorial on Twitter that explains how to set it up. Just to sum this up again- Alpaca is similar to ChatGPT, but it runs on your machine, is private, and completely free.

🐦 Check out this thread by @cocktailpeanut for step-by-step instructions and insights into Alpaca and its integration with the open-source project Dalai:

🌟 Lights, Camera, AI: Gen-2 Takes Center Stage!

Gen-2 by Runway is a multi-modal AI that generates jaw-dropping videos from simple text prompts, images, or video clips. This opens the door to a new era of AI-driven creativity and redefines filmmaking. Gen-2 is not available to the public yet, but you can sign up for their Waitlist to get notified once they open up the gates.
